Cosmo's Food for Thought

Well, it's Wednesday & the Memorial Day Weekend is now a memory.....The weather was awesome & I hope we all took at least a moment or two to remember all the military members who died in service to our country & to those who still serve.......It is also a time to remember our loved ones who have past on.....I am not the 'John Wayne' type, but I do love this country & am proud that my Dad & his 3 sons all served in the US Army......I just wish we would all focus on what America still can be & not on what was or is.....We still have to rid ourselves of prejudice, it once was felt by the Irish, Italians & so many more who came here from other places.....We all talked a little different, ate different foods & brought along habits from our own cultures....Than it was the Blacks, the Hispanics & now the Middle Eastern, Mexicans & even Chinese etc.....It is also pretty sad that our country can not find the means to get these guns out o

The Cafe is still chugging along, only I wish it was moving forward at a little faster pace.....That's the 'instant gratification' we all seem to want......I should know better as it is in God's hands and at His pace & time......I truly do want to always give Him the praise, honor & glory, but my pride & humanness get in the way so often.......I worry & stress when He wants us to always just give it all up to Him.....I pray that I can be a better leader of my family, business & community.......A better man who is not quick to anger & can love & forgive as Jesus has set the example for us to follow........I am so thankful for God's grace & His never ending love for us all.....Without them I would be just going through the motions believing that I somehow controlled the outcomes of this journey......How cool it is to be assured that the best is yet to come!.......Thanks for allowing me to share & for all the prayers & support...

Well Spring is in full bloom & the flowers are amazing.....Spring is of course the season of a 'new day' a rebirth!....I was hoping for the same here @ the Cafe, but we seem to have lost our 'blooms'......How can one understand how sales can dip these past weeks when we are doing everything as always & that has gotten us 'rave' reviews in the past?...We are @ a crossroads & I can only pray that we will survive this 'wilting' process we seem to be in.....So I will say & even sing, "Where have all the flowers gone...long time passing...long time ago".....Thanks for allowing me to share & for all your prayers & support.....

It has been a while since I have updated my progress here @ the Cafe.....So today I will ......Business has been off these past 2 weeks & I have no explanation as to why.....I am still confident that we will turn the corner soon to profitability, but I am human & do worry that it needs to happen soon!!......Some changes will need to be made & some have already been implemented, but all are behind the scenes stuff so the 'front of the house' will all be the same......It is the same whether it's a business or home the budget needs to be reworked every now & than to keep up with the constant financial changes that occur....We are 'trimming the fat' & doing all we can to cut expenses.......As always I put this in God's hands.....Thanks for allowing me to share & for all your prayers & support.....
