It's December 8th, and I was up at 4 am shoveling snow today, and salting the sidewalk outside the restaurant. It was nerve wrecking, seeing snow coming down, wondering if we would have any business today. It has been slow, but not completely dead yet. I dread this winter, and I dread the week ahead as we are facing more snow coming down tonight. With or without snow, we have the same bills coming due every month. The only thing that changes with volume is food cost. Obviously, food usage is lower if there are less customers, but the percentages of the other business expenses then tend to rise.
Today is the "first" day of my winter, and I am fully praying that I can make it through the next 4 months or so. And beyond that, I have another 6 or so years to get through the payoff of all the restaurant major loans. I feel like I am in a pestilential prison with a lifelong lock. (sorry about that, old acting class)
Today I pray, tomorrow I pray, the day after that I pray, and I just keep on keeping on. The success or failure of this restaurant has always been based on God's providence alone. And so, I leave with that. And away we go, I need a sled! :-)
