It's been an exciting Holiday Season so far. We had a great thanksgiving dinner, we got a Christmas Tree and have been adding decorations over the past weeks and, despite dire economic warnings, my restaurant is actually very busy. Sometimes it feels even, dare I say it too busy.
But I've noticed that I'm really tired today. Tired from all the holiday rush. Rush to get ready for seeing family and the rush to close out the year on a good foot at work. It's many levels of anticipation and it almost feels anxious in it's intensity. Shouldn't it be quieter? Shouldn't the past few days of cold and snow made it as silent in my head as it has been outside? You know, that feeling that you get when walking through a light snow in the evening? There is the steady rhythm of crunch crunch beneath you feet of ice and snow and yet a quiet from the gentle snow, dampening even the screachinges siren. How can we get that moment back and just play the loop?
