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 🙂

Hi @Sans911

thank you so much for your reply and the incredibly relevant information. I am at least a little heatened that supports for SH/SI exist, Im am saddened that you continue to need help. It is so hard to find any reason to keep going. In Vic there are no programs like yours, please continue with it.

I get it entirely - nearly made it last year, sucks that I didn't. I think about it all the time.

The highlight of my day today was that I finished part 17 out of 18 parts of my mandala. Part 18 has only four rounds so I'm now about to begin round 108 out of 111. By the time I have finished, which will be very soon, it will be a big enough circle to fit a queen sized bed 😊

Hey @CheerBear, it's great that you are back into the food. I've had too much of an apetite lately!

Highlight of today for me was spending time with my companion. He was there for me while I went a bit off the rails in my perceptions of reality and needed some laughter to come back down to earth a bit. He listened patiently to a lot of very insecure and self-denigrating views of things from me in response to something that others would probably see as positive. And was encouraging when I started to come out of it. I was blessed with him today.

Hi

The highlight of my day was to actually undertake a project. I have purchased a 1940's file cabinet for my private practice based at a GP. I have a great room to work in now. Over time I have been able to negotiate signifiant changes to the room, no more pictures of intestines on the walls and hugely unattractive plastic medical sculptures. No more medical text books that were overtaking the room.

My file cabinet is probably late 1940"s and the previous owner has apparently sanded it, whitewashed and waxed. Not a great way to keep a piece original.

I have spent my day adding casters and trying to clear up the wax finish.

At least I have tried to do something today.

Regards Bast

The highlight of my day was being a tourist in my own town. Making the effort to get out and about visiting the traditional and modern art galleries in my city. Waiting at the bus station to go home was a bit hectic especially as it was crowded with school kids. Next time, I'll time it better. Loved absorbing the art works though. I find it most uplifting.

The highlight of my day was taking a walk along the beach with my mum. Considering our complicated, traumatic and difficult past, we are doing our best to forge a different, more peaceful relationship for now. In order not to irritate each other (her irritating me more then her), I only see her for a short time of hours or days, as its like walking on eggshells dependant on her mood. But today she was in a really nice place, so spending time with her was pleasant and easy. We chatted and laughed as we walked, and the sea breeze and choppy waves soothed some of the unease in my mind.
