Coming Down Hard

I am coming down hard off my festival  high.  Bam!  Hitting bottom is hard stuff.  Ringing up the register is very addicting.  Everyone complimenting me on the cuteness of my shop.  Counting money!  That was fantastic.  When I hit bottom yesterday it was like, this is crazy.  I should just cut my losses and run now.  Going from hundreds of people through the door to a few.  Super difficult.  I over bought for the festival.  That is not a horrible thing.  All the stuff can still be used.  For a few weeks I will not need to order anything.  Well, maybe a few Halloween things. 
No matter how positive I try to stay, I can easily be brought back to reality.  Retail shops do not make it in my little town.  If they did, there would be more.  Trying to get back to the frame of mind that I need to wait and see what happens in the next few months.
On a positive note I will talk about an interesting group that came into the shop this morning.  It was a special needs class.  Maybe five students.  They each had $2.00 to spend.  With help they picked their own items.  Gave me the money, took the receipt, and received change.  While they were doing it, teachers helped when they were needed.  They also left some chalk drawings.  I really like that my shop is a teaching tool.
Day just got better, several adorable little girls were just in.  My little great niece is one of the sweetest, most adorable little girls.  I need to get her picture.  She comes in and walks straight to the case for jelly beans.  She picks the color.  I had her one.  She pays with a kiss.  I made the mistake of naming some giant butterfly gummis after her sister.  Now they all want candy named after them.  What was I thinking!  My grandkids were not jealous.  They just want candy.  They do not care what I call it.  In their world, the entire shop belongs to them.
I think I will sit outside for a little sunshine and fresh air.  Maybe do some reading.  Should try that more often!!  Not healthy to sit inside all the time.
