So, in an effort to try to brighten your day, we've started a project to put together a 'Good News Diary' full of the most positive stories and comments from the Mudgee Guardian every week.

Expect a new entry every Friday afternoon to cap off your week and practice a bit of self-care.

This week's good news stories

When someone asks a child 'what do you want to be when you grow up?' you might expect to hear a builder, vet, police officer, fireman, paramedic and other various jobs, but for anyone who asked Samara Watson what she wanted to be, her response was not one you would predict.

Sharon Winsor and her award winning business are on a mission to give Mudgee a taste of mother earth.

Established in 2012, Indigearth has been taking Australia by storm with many craving the knowledge and taste of native Aboriginal food.

A new initiative began this week at Mudgee Hospital, a 90-day campaign called "End PJ Paralysis" which aims to increase health outcomes for patients throughout their hospital stay by getting them out of bed as soon as possible, dressed and moving.

Highly recommend Harry from Hallidays Plumbing Services.

Absolute top bloke! It's the second time he's come to our plumbing emergency rescue!

Support the small guns! Because their honesty and reliability towers above the rest!

So happy with my service at Aussie Hand Car Wash this morning! Turned my very neglected Pajero to brand new again. Plus I had a lovely breakfast while I waited. I promise I will not be leaving it this long between washes from now on given the ease and great result!!! Thank you.
