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? ☀️💛🙏

Gs2 discovered a box of old papers and I have spent the day going through them and tossing out. Lots of mixed memories with old letters, kids school reports and works of art! Just about all gone now but I had fun reading some old letters from family and friends.

I always find it interesting to look back on old papers too @Eve7 . With mixed emotions of nostalgia but also often sadness and loss too.

Reading along and sounds like a number of people have had very productive and/or good days. 😊

Hugs also to those of you for whom today has been difficult and challenging emotions or triggers.

I was not good at knitting. Ok with crochet (but not brilliant). Ok but not brilliant with sewing. And OK with cooking (I can follow a recipe but I am sooo slow at cooking lol).

I have a special skill: i can explode microwave custard even when following instructions. 😎 so I have not tried it again since I was a tween. I have done it on the stove ever since. A very messy waste of milk (3 attempts in microwave).

Thank you for reminder that i also meant to put on the clothes washing today and not done so far! I shall do now!

@AlwaysMyself myself, my Auntie and cousin don’t make custard 🍮 cook chicken 🍗 or bake.

There is always a shop that makes these things for us. They come in containers.

Hey everyone hope days well its a nice heat here

today's highlight is the humility, kindness, understanding, and selflessness i felt today.

i couldn't even bring myself to open forum in the early hours of this morning when no ones up, ii really wanted to, looked at lap top many times wondered how the community is & default beat rational and so went my day and night.

@Glisten thank you for your 45min 😌 the effort was not missed and humbling,

it gave me the ability to move on to next posts for if i got hurt somewhere or misunderstood or annoyed someone i would of come back to read again and be grateful at least one person could see the message not just the words. So appreciate your message, thank you

@AlwaysMyself Thanks for post & getting ahead of my self-destructive defence mechanisms,

your gentle approach if i accidentally cross a personal line or boundry helped quieten noise

your entire message made me feel safer and i feel it shows my instinct of these spaces and forumites i have encountered to be accurate,

it helps you know im not wanting to offend should it happen.

Its one of them situation's im glad i was wrong.

i always enjoy seeing that bluebear on my notifications or on thread.

thank you again it really has made feel better

valued is left alone coz i dont like blushing hehe

@PeppiPatty thank you for your words, its a strange connection here that inspires expression of ourselves knowing we aren't judged and amongst caring people.

self hatred is a destructive beast, learning self compassion &believing it changed my life

do you share your drawings on forum at all i would like too see sometime if your comfortable.

You are kind and with what you have shared on here i have read of your lived experience many would be bitter, that shows your charachter is true.

@Appleblossom thank you also for your post, you wrote it so i can see you also understood where i was coming from and related.

its helped me trust not you good people but my instincts a little more and feel less apprehensive.

tango? is that like high tempo style of dance? i have to look up the style you mentioned if its what i think it ids you must be super fit!!

@Bunniekins av quick edit i was mortified i forgot you everything written for each is for all i just wanted to acknowledge individually from respect, thanks for involving me and being a friendly forumite friend, well i must get hopping my eyes are all screened out tahe pooky for walk hop hop

@all thanks for the empathy and humility you all bring in sane this place is more than just another platform with all the mutuality amd im so tired i nearly didnt mention how selfless you all are.

@PeppyPatti I hope we all have happy nights. Because it was a weird day.

I wasn’t in flow and I don’t like that feeling.
