I'm definitely feeling a little low / blue / tired today BUT I know that when the next guests walk through that front door everything will change. Either they will be super people who will put a smile on my face or they will be a challenge and make me work to figure out what is going to put a smile on THEIR face. Either way, it will immediately pull me out of my funk. What other job makes me do this? Nothing. Let's be honest - I absolutely love what I do. Is it hard - hell yes, but that's probably because I genuinely care about everyone's wellfare from the second they enter my door. Because I, like the rest of you, try to customize every guest's experience I will never ever be bored .... and boredom is one of my worst enemies.
On the other hand - Hubs and I stayed up waaayyy late last night with the karaoke machine - I laughed until my sides hurt. Will I ever grow up? I doubt it. The simplest things still make me happy. We'll definitely be doing impromtu Karaoke sessions outside for our guests this summer. Our little niche is elegant, comfortable and fun ..... but that's exactly who we are and we all know by now that a B&B is defined by its owners - every experience will be different.
Finally - I've been back on Atkins for about a week now. I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT looking for opinions on the healthiness or otherwise of the diet. All I know is that it works perfectly for my body type. I lose weight fast, I eat way more than I usually do and I feel great. So far I'm averaging a pound a day and feeling much, much better.
So, in closing - a huge shout out to all you amazing B&B owners / runners out there. Only we will ever know how much work goes into making everything seem effortless.
