It's Showtime-Putting on the Smile!

You know the hospitality food service industry is very into 'putting on the
smile'. This means when you're entering the doors ready to go to work, you leave behind all your worries of the moment. And you put on that happy face and play the part. Customers are expecting a cheerful, outgoing and friendly person to help them. Nobody wants a grumpy person around.

So this is what we do in this business. After awhile, for some of us lucky enough, it becomes natural and we really are sincerely happy and all that about being there to give the best service possible. So whats my point?
I guess that there are times that I think of other things, and people that mean alot to me pop into my mind now and then. I have met some really great people doing what I do for a living. Some people have become a special, permanent part of my life in a meaniful way. I have had my share of triumphs in the spotligh as well as failures. Thank God, I have managed to get back up, dust myself off and move on. So I do think most of all of the very special people who have touched my life. I carry them in my heart. I try not to think about life's challenges outside the door nor do I make my life too busy. I check in everything at the door and go to work.

Should you feel so lucky and blessed to truly enjoy what you are doing and find peace and happiness in your endeavors.
