I enjoyed my job and my work buddies, but this job surpasses that by far!
Fortunately, Arthur was already into 'retirement', the cottage was furnished, and our initial investment was small in comparison to setting up any other business. He applied for special consent from our municipality to run a business from home and register with tourism organizations. We slowly improved facilities as bookings came in.
The beauty of doing this is that after all the marketing and thanks to guests, we have a good Google presence, as well as online booking sites, so the cottage is now running itself, with the help of excellent staff. This gives me the ability to take many breaks, something I would not be able to do as often if I were only receiving a monthly pension.
But, I will remember your words, my friend, there have been times when I've done way too much, perhaps an escape from the loss.

It sounds like you have everything running at top peak. There is nothing like good help, people you can rely on to perform their duties and are trustworthy, that's half of the battle.
Staying busy leaves less time to think about losing your partner, the love of your life.
Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.
