Wow! Friends, I’ve had such a morning I’m not even sure where to start. I think to start with I’ll relist my items I’m grateful for today. Some of these items have turned out to be almost ironic since I posted them this morning.
1. a beautiful foggy morning
2. finally getting some restful sleep after tossing and turning a lot
3. the fact that I work for great people
4. my day off
5.finished projects
So yesterday I told my daughter that today I am taking my day off (see #4) seriously and staying home all day. And then I told her that since I’ve said that, someone will call and want me to do something. Yep! Sure enough. My great boss I work for (see #3) texted and asked if I could stop out at work about 10. Well sure.
When I got to the cafe the waitress was putting a sign on the door that said closed till 11 for repairs and locking the door. Holy cow said the little voice in my head, this is something big.
I never dreamed. The waitress and I joked that they were going to fire us all. The boss assured us that wasn’t the case.
Well, in a way it turned out to be true. The bosses got an offer they can’t refuse and sold the business. They’ll be locking the door for good on November 3.
I started work at that cafe many years ago as a part time job “just so I can get the kids’ dentist bill paid off“. Well that was almost 12 years ago. On and off, I’ve invested nine years of my life in that place and now that chapter is over.
I’m shocked and yet I’m not surprised. I have no idea where I’m going from here. I have SO many opportunities in front of me that I’m mind boggled.
I went and had lunch with my parents, just to have a sounding board, because the dog just wasn’t giving me much feedback.
I am so sorry to hear about your unexpected news but REMEMBER when one door closes,God will open another one. As you said, there are opportunities awaiting you. Peace to you.

An act of kindness is a gift given
So Tulip you have from now till the 3rd of November to get your ideas in order and get thinking about your future.
So your a very creative lady what do you fancy doing ?
Tulip, what are the new owner’s doing with the space? Perhaps something will work out with them. You never know, this could be a real blessing friend!
Angelcart, we don’t know what the new owners are doing with the space, presumably bulldozing it, but we don’t know at this point.
Vicky, my fancy takes me in so many directions!!! LOL! Hopefully in the next few weeks, one direction will sort itself out.
Sandi, thanks for the prayers. Very much appreciated.
Butterfly, I know God is opening a door. I just need the discernment to see the right one!
Tulip
You, of all people, will turn a bowl of pits into an incredible cherry chiffon pie with a lattice sugar crust topped with fresh whipped cream!
(Sounds pretty good!)
I’m sorry the news came so abrupt for you and your co-workers but I know an opportunity will present itself to you in short order.
(My cat’s the same way about the feedback.) Going through changes can be rough, but also an unexpected opportunity. Sort of glad you won’t have to put up with some of the stuff that comes with your current position. You‘re obviously bright, articulate, hard working, and can keep a job. I’m praying that there is something wonderful for you in the not-too-distant future!
Wow, that is a stunner! Life sure takes some sharp turns now and then. But you are so independent and versitile that I can picture you enjoying this change. Wishing all the best to you, Tulip.
Cathie
This might be a God send...opportunity awaits!
You have some wonderful talents, lots of best wishes!
So I’m seeing a little on line antiquating store along with a bakery biz.......
I’m keeping positive thoughts that like a cat you will land on your feet!
