Today was extremely productive for such a short time to work. I wrote my employee questionnaire, I wrote a large to do list and I tuned up the Mission Statement to the point that I will almost post it. Today is Tuesday and since last Thursday, not much has happened aside from general note taking and web surfing. Remaining positive and disciplined to work some each day is going to pay off. We've worked out a schedule around here that allows me to work 6 to 8 hours 3 days a week plus an hour here and there when I'm not doing projects around the house. This will drastically change when things get rolling (hopefully February or March at the latest) but for now this is pleasant for the whole family. My niece Katherine and her husband Adam were over Saturday and we discussed this venture for the first time. Katherine had some great ideas, Adam just wanted to play video games. I get that. He'll be interested when things actually happen. Katherine worked for us at Cella and can tell when real things are happening so she's definitely more into it. Can't wait for tomorrow - 6 hours at least to work!
One last thing... Today was Barrack Obama's inauguration. We opened out store, Cella, just before the 2000 election of GWB. When the questionable Florida voting took the headlines and the general distrust of those in power really took hold, months before 9/11, we saw our business drop off and the general spending habits of the customer get very shaky. 9/11 didn't do anybody any favors either. We did barely survive for the next couple years but the way the government interacted with us changed for the worse and something had changed within the American psyche. I pray that Obama's Presidency brings this country back to what it was. Be fearless, have hope and embrace change. This in no way is supposed to reflect my political views, it is only here to mark this point in time and what I am feeling about this very moment.
