Love Everyday

Isn'tit amazing that everyday is a new day?

A new day to be better than the day before. Thank goodness, too, because sometimes we need it more than others.

Today is that day for me. Not to say that I didn't like yesterday, it was just one of those days.
(You know those days, when it seems like the planets align to allow for all sorts of mishaps.)

I honestly, truly appreciate the challenging days; the days with real life examples of how we could always be improving.
And here we are, with a brand new day to put these very lessons to work. Being stronger, better, faster.

For me, it's to offer the best of myself to my staff and to my guests. To see all of us provide our best hospitality, our best service, our best dishes, to offer the best of ourselves to each other. So, when those challenging days arrive, and arrive they will, we'll be ready. Hey, they might even be fun. Because- we got this. Because we've seen it, been there, done that.

Someone set their menu on fire? Pleeease, I got this. One of our servers went into labor and half our scheduled staff are the aunts?! We've got that too! When every table seems to have some new and exciting allergy? It's our pleasure to make it work!

I don't know if this is even a half glass full approach because I don't even see it that way. When a day isn't perfect I learn from it, we learn from it. And we are given today. My glass isn't just half full, it runneth over!
