PRESIDENT’S PEN While eating lunch with a friend recently, she asked me why I felt we didn’t have more younger women playing in our golf league. I responded that we don’t have many younger Bobbie women moving here. She Mays, suggested we consider Board changing our community’s President name to something that is not associated with a retirement community. I was not expecting this comment and was immediately offended. Later, as I replayed this conversation, I realized my response was related to bigger concerns I have faced in the past few years. Embracing change can be difficult. I often hear people say, “Well, that’s the way we have always done it,” or “Why change now?” or “If someone can do a better job, then they can try to change it.” Some say as we age, it is harder to accept change. I wonder if embracing change really has anything to do with aging. I believe it has a lot to do with attitude. What if we observe the changes around us with an open mind? One way to practice is to go for a walk and notice the signs of changing times within Windsor Gardens. Neighbors who may look or do things differently than us. Landscape changes due to an aging property, including trees that have been removed, and the condition of our lawns due to restricted watering. With some positive flexibility, we may discover a new friend or beautiful addition to the landscape. PRESIDENT'S PEN continued on page 4
