What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

Hi everyone! This is my first ever forum post so do hope it lands where it’s meant to 🤣

Most days, I like to find a highlight 😊. Usually, that means during a walk with my dog, I try to spot something different, something cool or something that brings me some happiness. Whether it’s something big or small, it doesn’t matter. A highlight can be anything!

I love taking photos and would really like to share and see what you've come across. Something that made you smile, sparked your interest, or simply caught your eye. For me, it’s all the little things that count on the hard days.


To start, I’d like to share these beautiful birds I came across today. They like to appear like branches of a tree or the tree itself. They are called Tawny Frogmouth’s. Has anyone else seen these types of birds? My pics below -(hopefully not too small to see two in the tree on the left pic).

What have you seen today? ☀️💛🙏

Hey @Nala2022 sorry I keep missing the morning shift 🤣🙈. How’d your day go?

Ah yessss there is a couple of places near where I live when in Melbourne and they do the best desserts. Gosh thinking of it now makes me want to go there now 🤣. Ah the bougatsas warmed up and the one when I have been has a cinnamon sugar on the top- delicious 🤣

Glad the movie was good, even though they left out a whole character 🤯🙈. Planning to see any other movies soon?

Oh yeah this is a bit of a story to the gender reveal cupcake ☺️, I was the first she told which I was really moved by! Her first child was born with a congenital heart condition and had to be evacuated to a bigger hospital for months. I helped her a lot back then and she’s always been so grateful for all I did for her, made sure she had clothes and stuff for the emergency flight to get her though the first couple of days etc and yeah turned out they had to be there for months. I also went and visited them there which has made us even closer and we often look back at how sh*t the time was then but also some incredible memories made. Her first is doing really well, they will need another operation when they are a bit older but doing so well, you wouldn’t even know! I love spending time with them!

How exciting you are off to visit your cousins little one!! Aw there is something about babies that is just so special!! Enjoy all the cuddles! They grow so quickly haha.

Ah yes so glad they are over, actually now feels like a life time ago that I had the appts so glad for the quick recovery turn around really. Still don’t know what my ‘take home’ message or lesson is about it all, feel like there should be something as it was a pretty substantial ride 🤪 but yes it’s nice just to feel relaxed again the heart is resting and I just feel at ease which is a really nice feeling. A follow up is planned for December which I’m not sure I am keen on but I’d like to hope I will be better this time around. I’ll have less appointments should be my only one that and more blood tests pre, which I don’t mind about (a bit over them) but I don’t care about pain and stuff. Actually I’m already stressed by it for some reason I just haven’t figured it out the actual reason. Anyway all good something to be curious about.

lol spiders, yeah can’t say I love them but as long as they chill in their web away from me then they are okay, a fear is walking into a web or one in my room then yep I’d freak out 😅. It was maybe last year I saw a really really cool one a size of a jumping spider and iridescent blue white and black, it also had a very cute face 🤣 it was out in the wild lol.

Not much on for the rest of my week I really need to clean my room though. Hope I can find some motivation to do that and some errands.

I can’t remember if you’ll be around tomorrow but I might catch you 😊

@Chasingsunsets All good lovely, we always seem to catch each other at different times! My day was pretty good yesterday and so far today has been good too, thank you. How was yours? 😊

Bougatsa with cinnamon sugar on top sounds delicious!

That’s such a beautiful story about your friend and her little one. I can understand why she wanted you to be the first to know about the gender reveal, especially after everything you did to support her during such a difficult time. It sounds like you’ve built a really special friendship through it all, and I’m so glad her little one is doing well.

I can understand feeling a bit stressed about the December follow-up, even if you haven't quite worked out what's behind it yet. I'm glad you're feeling more relaxed now and that your heart is getting some rest. Hopefully December feels a little easier when it comes around!

I think I'd still prefer admiring it from a distance 😂 And yes, walking into a spiderweb is an absolute nightmare! I'd definitely freak out lol

Hopefully you can find a little motivation to tackle your room and get those errands done, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even getting one or two things done is a start! 😊

I hope you have a great day 💛

@Taali my darling you are NOT pathetic. That is your evil MI mind telling you that you are a loser. Which you my girl are most definitely not.

I think you're a f*cking ROCKSTAR ⭐✨

@Chasingsunsets aww baby Tawnies! I can't wait to see them!

I had a dental appointment today, fortunately it was the free scale and clean. As I said to the receptionist "so it should be considering the amount I pay to my health insurance!"

Next week will probably be another $1000 like last time, and insurance only covers about half. No wonder people don't get their teeth fixed!

I hope you are having a good day, I always enjoy your photos xo 💜💐

@ENKELI deary hello!! I'm chugging along as per! Glad to hear your garden is growing under your kind guidance and green thumbs!! ^_^

@Chasingsunsets appreciate you! Haha Trixie is joined by her little half-brother Razz! He is a scamp, a little pudgey guy who I can currently hear playing chasies with his sister. Kitty mischief definitely provides me much enrichment hehe.

Hope you are both keeping well and doing things to nourish your wonderful selves <3

Hi @Nala2022 my day was okay, my highlight was finally getting closer and closer to the beach haha. Been ages! No productivity today but did manage to finally get my tax done. Normally I am not this late but finally have it done now which is good.

Yeah it was a pretty intense time the young one was incredibly unwell and it was touch and go and permission was granted for them to fly at lower altitude etc. Crazy times really.

lol spiders ah yes one of my nightmares running into a web with a spider in it lol. Hope you aren’t around if I post spiders and if your role is approving posts lol. I should put TWs on the pics but can’t do it from my phone lol. I’ll generally write that I have posted a spider if I do though ☺️

hopefully productivity finds me soon haha might head out for a kayak tomorrow, I hope I do it’s always so nice heading out 😊. How’s your errands going? Do you have anything you are looking forward to? ☀️

I'm so sorry for the delayed response 😔

But, I actually slept last night 🌙

6+ hours yippee !

@Chasingsunsets

Your photos are simply beautiful ✨️

I guess that's why we call you "Sunny" if you don't mind.

I hope you have a peaceful and pleasant day.

Taals 💓

Trust in you!
