I am an Innkeeper. I keep an Inn. I am keeping the Inn. I am inn-keeping. I am keeping the Inn for our guests, our children, ourselves, our town. I keep an Inn and in return the Inn keeps us. This often goes through my mind as I clean and do the daily jobs that are my new life. Somehow taking care of Nestledown does not feel like drudgery, but rather a privilege. There is a freedom also in the work of maintaining your own business with an interesting blur of everyday life and responsibility. I like it. I like what Ken and I have built and now what we do together for our livelihood.
Aren't we all keepers, taking care of what we have been given? I think so!
