Top Ten Reasons why I love being an Innkeeper:
-
I get to meet the most awesome people.
-
I love people and have so many opportunities to express that love.
-
I enjoy watching people unwind, relax and mellow each day they are with us.
-
Sometimes I feel I was born to serve people, so innkeeping makes me feel
personally fulfilled. -
I had a restaurant (now that was a hate thing).....and the only part of that
business that I really enjoyed...was serving people, talking with people and
giving them a wonderful experience. -
I can't tell you what reading the comments in our guest books does for me
emotionally. I turn to mush, not really believing it could have been that great
an experience. -
I love to cook simple, normal breakfast food and I have no place to put the
accolades I get for that. -
It blows me away that people just want to sit and chat for hours...I listen
to their stories and tell mine. -
To feel their gratitude because I waited up late and welcomed them to the inn
after traffic problems, endless drives, airport delays, snow storms, etc., etc.,
.....what a blessing that is to me. -
I still can't believe (after five years of innkeeping) I can make a living
doing something that is so much fun! I am one happy innkeeper!
