Positive posts - One beautiful thing

Feels like there are too many arguements and too much nasty name calling and labelling on this forum. 
I am going to try to do one positive post every time I go on here 

So todays one is say one beautiful thing you saw today 

Mine is a female blackbird sitting in my garden 

Whats yours?


  • I'm having a bad day today so this thread has been welcome. My beautiful thing is my cat, Wispa. Her and her brother make even the worst days ok.

  • Nice thread, Billy. There's not enough positivity anywhere so it's good to share some.

    I saw a beautiful classic car today. I was jogging, this morning and a white Triumph Stag shot by, V8 engine rumbling away as it went by. It was also a soft top. Looked absolutely stunning and beautiful. I really wish I had had the time to capture a picture of it. 

  • Hello KareBear,  welcome to the forum.

    You do sound like you are on the autistic spectrum from the info given.

    Communication with neturotypicals is something most of us have issues with too, but the problem in communicating with your husband is one I do recommend you consider getting help with.

    I had a similar situation although I was able to mask enough to appear normal most of the time, but for really important stuff in life it is important to be able to communicate clearly and openly to stop our wants and needs being overlooked.

    Have you considered getting therapy to improve your communication skills with your husband? No need to answer if you are uncomfortable with it of course.

    I found a therapist with experience in working with autistic people and that helped me tremendously through a diffiicult time and now communication is way better for both of us.

    1. The name of this forum drew me in. I need to see and hear positivity. I believe I may be a high function autistic female. I’ve been reading about all the details, took the assessment, I’ve known forBlushome time because of the way I’ve always reacted to loud noises and lights. I need support. I’m not comfortable telling my family or friends because no one will believe in me. I’ve been struggling inBlushhe loneliness of not wanting to socialize, rather be alone than the inability to make friends. I feel like I can talk to someone for a few minutes but not connect for long term relationships. I cannBlush communicate with my husband at all so I’m existing in this weird place in my head where I’m seeking refuge and attempting to replace negative with positive. I saw the name of your forum and thoughtBlushhis may be my place…
  • I visited Chawton House today which was once owned by Jane Austen's brother.

    It's a wonderful, peaceful Elizabethan house with a beautiful rose garden and a walled garden which incorporates separate veg/fruit and herb gardens.

    Bliss.

  • I saw my girlfriend today who is not only beautiful but also the best woman I know.

  • Looking through my family picture album I saw pictures of my late sister when we were young, both of us smiling and our faces covered in mud. Lol don't know what we'd been doing that day but it looks like we had fun :) 

  • I've been hiking / trail running 5 times in the last 8 days and saw curlews, larks, grouse, deer, rabbits, horses, butterflies, bees and many happy dogs out for a walk :)

    Now having a restful day catching up on chores and watching the rain outside.

  • I saw a fox this morning. Looked absolutely beautiful! I would have got a pic but he shot off in to the hedge before I could sadly and hasn't emerged since.

  • I didn't see anything beautiful, but I heard the Country Song 'Amanda' for the first time today.

  • A young man who has Down's syndrome conducting the music at church today.

  • They're peonies, they're amazing plants, they die down completely in the autumn with nothing above ground and then grow to a reasonable size fresh every spring, with loads of those beautiful flowers on. The flowers don't last long and can be quite fragile, a decent rainstorm can decimate them unfortunately.

  • Great idea.  While I was helping my daughter with her bike in the garden this morning we both looked up to see a beautiful bird of prey riding the wind just above our house. 

  • Mine is a return visit from the great spotted woodpecker!

  • Good post Billy - thank you.

    My beautiful thing today was watching loads of humans, who don't particularly like other humans, coming together to help animals.  Beautiful.

  • This is today’s beautiful thing, when the heads were closed they didn’t look very interesting, they are much better now. No idea what they are.

  • That's lovely Roy. Looks like a scarlet tiger moth to me, beautiful colours blend on it. Great shot.

  • That’s a lovely picture, i took this on Friday but didn’t know what it is?

  • The sunrise Sunny️ looks beautiful but creepy at the same time. Creepy because of the low fog I think.

  • That's lovely. It's exciting to watch things you grow yourself.
