My happy place on top of Pointer Mountain

I was sitting in a cafe in Daylesford, a country town in Victoria recently. I'd been staying there for what seemed like weeks but in reality had been four days.

In a town full of cafes and beautiful places to walk I found my happy place.

Part retro cafe part truck stop diner I became a regular and a visitor. Familiar and anonymous at the same. I sat in the window and thought about how I had come to be there and thinking turned to writing.

So many beautiful walks around Daylesford - this is near the Daylesford Market and the old railway yards.

The thoughts went something like this:

"I wouldn't change anything about this moment.

The day is mine to do as I wish, to drive until I choose to stop for the night. Not knowing where that will be is part of the freedom of a road trip.

I notice my car. A red bubble framed by hanging baskets of geraniums the same colour. My bags are stowed in the little boot, my cap on the seat ready for the roof to open and Cilla Black on iTunes...no I wouldn't change a thing at the moment.

So why isn't every day like this?

Why do we save these experiences as a reward, a future plan, a wish?

I read an e-card about life being right now. Making now the life you want. If we don't create the present the way we want we can't create a future that's any different.

What do you really want? Now thank the universe that you have it.

Change "I want" to "I have".

Change doubt to belief.

My little red Fiat waits for her next adventure :)

So easy to say and often so hard to do...

Yes, being here has opened my mind to new possibilities. I've thought more about projection and how I manifest every aspect of my daily life. My relationships are what I create, my work, my happiness, my sadness, my joy and disappointment.

Sounds a bit out there?! I find the possibility that everything that happens in my life is entirely my creation challenging and exciting at the same time.

Every thought and feeling all in my own head, nothing existing but me. Wow!

That means I can change anything, nothing and everything.

Well right now I wouldn't change a thing.

What about you?"

Since I wrote this post in Daylesford, five days and a thousand kilometres have passed.

For the past few days I've been in Milton NSW staying in an amazing house on top of a mountain owned by a dear friend. I feel blessed to be here.

Today I'm writing in another cafe. I have found my next happy place. This morning is my third breakfast visit to Milk Haus in Milton. I feel at home here and I must be manifesting positive experience as the owner just patted my shoulder and said; "nice to see you back - we love having you".

Yes, today, again, I wouldn't change a thing.

Beautiful ethos here at Milk Haus that resonated with me
