That'll be pretty when it comes out, @StarryEyed, lovely!

Crikey, I didn't realise DD was still around, @Ross1975, a blast from the past.

The orange blossoms are in bloom now throughout the city. The smell is divine. And these blossoms are so delicate, so beautiful.

There was also this flower on a tree that is the first time I've seen it. I have no idea what it is.

It's such a treat to be thinking of you guys in the park when taking these pics. 🥰

How lovely to be out in a sunny park surrounded by blossoms @StarryEyed ☺️

That red flower is so unusual, I've never seen one like that either!

Hi @Rosie_Scope 😊👋🏼 Yes, I'm very fortunate. We all have something to feel fortunate about. It's hard to feel it when down, but sometimes when I push myself, there can even be just a split-second of a thought or feeling that can sustain me. Others experience the same as I've heard. Or sometimes you can't feel it in the moment and it registers afterwards. Like a photo that registers later when looking at it.

That's a lovely way to put it @StarryEyed. My therapist once described a similar thing to me and called them 'glimmers'. Small lovely moments that give you even the tiniest little boost when times are tough.

@Rosie_Scope I never heard of glimmers. So I looked it up and there's lots about it. Here's what AI says....

Fascinating! Maybe the term glimmers comes from the expression 'glimmers of hope'? Thank you so much for this insight. 🙏🏼😊 I learn so much on this forum!

1958 Sir Vival. The car was built the way it was for safety, that's why the front pivoted and why the drivers seat is so high up in case of a head on collision. The bumpers were also filled with air and the windscreen in the 'turret' actually rotated while special cleaning pads wiped away rain and dirt. Weirdest car I've ever seen.

@Ross1975 that car looks somewhat liminal 😁

@Catherine21 since you talked in another thread recently about being barefoot in the grass, I've been taking a blanket to the park to lie down with my bare feet and palms in the grass. Heaven! Thank you 🙏🏼😊

@Rosie_Scope thank you again for the glimmers insight. It's a beautiful concept!
