As opposed to New Year’s Resolutions, which I don’t do right away, during the early quieter winter times I usually take the time to reflect on my last year.
What would I have done differently?
I would have spent more time interacting with my Guests at my restaurants.
What would I have like to have done that I didn’t get to?
I had a lot of ideas for new specials that I didn’t get to.
Did I make any new friends.
Yes, happily I made 4 new friends.
Did I do anything to reinforce the love I have for my current friends?
No, I didn’t but I went through a rough patch recently and they were all there to support me so I plan on returning their love this year.
Did I lie to anyone?
Yes, I lied to myself about a personal health issue that I kept putting off.
I would urge all of you to look back, look forward, and add any new questions about yourselves. This winter reflection has served me will over my adult life.
I wish you and your friends and families Peace, Joy & Love in 2026…
