The Highlight of Your Day thread

The Highlight of Your Day thread

I thought it might be nice to have a place to share the highlight of your day (even if it's found in a fleeting moment) 🙂

For me today, the highlight of my day was finishing the most annoying round of crochet in a blanket I have been working on for months. This round has taken me so long and I've found it so frustrating that I didn't think I would ever finish the project. Stitch by (incredibly frustrating) stitch it came together. Super excited to get to change colours and start the next round now!

Looking forward to hearing anyone else's highlights 🙂

@Shaz51, wonderful that you made your mum so happy. Sounds like you enjoyed the surprise too.

@CheerBear, nice one on taking it slow this evening.

Welcome, @MrNZ

My highlight of the day was talking to my mum on the phone. She's coming interstate to visit in about 10 days. After not seeing each other sinceApril last year, we are both so looking forward to being together.

Today.....I have 3 orchids blooming, the white moth orchid has 24 blooms, the greenish tinged one has a dozen and the purple wee one almost a dozen....how could I be sad with that!

Highlight of today was the walk around the school, followed by a wander through some trees with my companion, looking at strange formations of ro-ots and trunks. There were a few trees with trunks that grew out almost at right angles, maybe from wind. Another tree I saw had 'arms' stretched up high and wide so that it looked like someone opening up for a hug. I struggled with my lungs a bit during the walk, there was a bit of pain involved in the gain. But it was worth it and lifted me into better spirits for the rest of the day.

The highlight of my day was that when I went to see my psychologist today, she had a container of little easter eggs on the table. At least, the container had easter eggs in it at the start of our session. I think she had two and I had...um...er...more than two. She complimented me on my capacity to consume chocolate at an amazing rate. What can I say, it's a skill.

I am feeling quite good after the session. Therefore, on the basis of this totally unrandomized uncontrolled trial with a sample size of one (sea turtle), I am declaring chocolate to be an evidence-based treatment for BPD. @CherryBomb @NikNik @Former-Member @CheerBear @Spookytookims @Former-Member

Lol @Phoenix_Rising 😂 Maybe that's where I've been going wrong. 💜🤗💐

@Phoenix_Rising it sounds a bit like your capacity to consume easter eggs rivals @CheerBear's pineapple lump gobblefest. 😄

Re: The Highlight of Your Day thread

Haha @Phoenix_Rising! I can't say I had the same experience with the packet of pineapple lumps I consumed during a 'moment'. Perhaps if shpuld have swapped them for Easter eggs.

I haven't been on this thread for a few days. So the highlight for me today is that I am here (in more ways than one) 🙂

Highlights:
- got through my report draft (the highlight being that I don't have to look at it for a day or so)
- found some things in the store that I wasn't sure I'd find

Highlight of today here was completing what may be the final draft of the video project I've been working on lately, the one that gave me a fair bit of grief last week. Feeling of satisfaction at having continued on with it despite some high anxiety over it. Feeling of anticipation now that I'm waiting to hear whether my collaborator agrees this is the final draft.
