I have a pretty good day job. I work hard, make things nice for other people. In return they thank me, they laugh, they relax, they enjoy themselves. The more they laugh and relax, the harder I try to make it nice. They come from all over the world: America, Germany, England, Australia, New Zealand, China, Switzerland, South Africa... and they bring me news of their corner of the world. I am richer for their being here, and I don't mean in my piggy bank. They forgive when things don't go according to plan; they wait, taking in the view if breakfast is a little late. They don't realize how much they make my day by writing a few simple lines in my guest book.
How many people have a job where they get to be their own boss and have so much positive feedback? Not that many, I think!
Like I have always said, the guests make the magic here.

Sounds like you are really the right person in the right place at the right time... and you share!
I think that this is a 2-way street. I don't know how one could be a cad of a guest in that lovely environment and with YOU as a host!
I yearn for the day when I can be one of those guests, gazing at the view and waiting for however long it takes to have one of your incredible breakfasts! You are so sweet tot recognize your guests in such a nice way!
I long to be a guest of yours! Someday :-)
I'm so glad that you've had such rich experiences.
Lovely photo, Diana, I look forward to someday visiting you!
Thanks again for inspiring Gratitude Fridays, I've just posted for this week.
I love the delicate feel of your photo. A lovely accompaniment to your beautiful post.
As Sandra said, thanks for the inspiration. I only started last week, so have only posted two Fridays so far, but really love this idea!
Lovely, Lovely thoughts Diana...
I wrote one today as well over at Stresa Sights; would you add me to your list?
This is a wonderful idea - sort of goes with daily meditation. May I join too? menehune
Like so many others...I look forward to the day when I too can be a guest...I am grateful for the fun and beauty of dreams, appreciating the simplier things in life, having faith...happy weekend!
