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 🙂

Re: The Highlight of Your Day thread

Today the highlight for me was getting lost in colours and textures in an art therapy session. I went feeling very nervous and thinking just going along was something to be proud of, and I found myself completely absorbed in the experience. I created nothing that resembles 'art' but had an awesome time making mess, listening to the sound of the pastels on the paper, smooshing bits of colour onto other colours, feeling big feelings and exploring them without getting scared, and getting my hands covered in chalky pastels.

Definitely something I won't forget 🙂

Great, @CheerBear! I can just imagine the texture of the pastels. Have some at home in all ochre colours, but am somehow shy about getting into them. So glad it was healing and fun to do that.

Highlight of the day for me was seeing two currawongs land in the small trees near our fence when I was sitting outside on the back courtyard when I took a smoke break. I sometimes say hello to the birds, and currawongs have a special place in my heart. I liked it that I could find this moment and be able to notice them even when very busy in preparation of my self and the flat for 7 days of open sales inspections of this rental place we call home. I've been pretty spun out (and maybe a bit dissociated at times) over the past week, and still am to a degree. But, as @Former-Member reminded me earlier today, I think I've got this. I hope so!

Night all. Looking forward to more glimmering highlights that might appear here over time.

I adore your mindfulness of the chalk experience @CheerBear. It's truly amazing how we can get absorbed in the moment doing some of these things. I highly recommend blowing bubbles too. For some reason that one gets me absorbed too and it doesn't take long.

@Mazarita I love your mindful moment too. I'm so hoping you get to stay there so you have many more moments with the currawongs.

Mine was I think I have been calm for the whole day for the first time in such a long time. Funny thing is I wanted to write that in capitals which kind of isn't calm. I'm such a contradiction but I digress. I had my first therapy appointment where I haven't imploded or needed to sit in my car for hours or sleep off I think ever. I even went straight to the laundromat and washed my quilt that had been sitting in my car for more than 4 weeks so my son told me tonight. So all in all the highlight of my day was staying calm and washing my quilt because I've just not even been in a place to get this done for so long.

@Mazarita - so glad you were able to find a moment of peace in between the busy stress of the day. I'm really feeling for you and the sale of the your home. I was terrified of losing ours when it happened but lucky that an investor purchased it so we could stay. I didn't take away from the stress of uncertainty and inspections though, but hopefully it works out this way for you too. Crossing everything and believing you've got this too 💛

@Former-Member - one of my highlights today was seeing/feeling your calm as well, so I can imagine how good that feels for you. I'm so glad you felt less shaken after your therapy appointment yesterday. Sounds like you found your can a little more. It's definitely there, I believe it 😊

I finished the orange round of my blanket today and that was a definite highlight after struggling through it for way too long!

Hope everyone else has had a highlight moment today too 🙂
