Why the Hell am I so upbeat? Really.
Other than the fact that I think it's a personality characteristic that is a necessary part of being a shopkeeper. Being a bit of Pollyanna. Goldilocks. Pangloss.
Despite having my slowest month since 2005, I feel like the store is in good shape. I still turned a profit this month, I kept the bills paid, I kept the store up to a very high standard of inventory. I have plenty of ammunition left to fire away at Christmas.
You just get a sense of when things are all right, and when they're not. Sales are not the only standard to judge by.
I'm still excited to go to work every day. I still think the future looks interesting.
I'm ready for the challenge. For some reason, it gets my juices flowing.
