Hello All,

Today has been one of those days... It got me thinking of how HOA support their Presidents. All I came up with is ...

No man (in my case woman) is an island. So why do most President's feel like Tom Hanks in Castaway?

Alone sitting on a beach problem solving without assistance or any help (board or resident volunteers). Talking to Wilson, you’re ever ready and trusting friend (imaginary). Wondering how you will solve X issue. You have run around your island looking for other sources of life (volunteers, committee members, and engaged board members). No life seems willing to show itself.

Some days it seems Wilson the volleyball is the only person (thing) that seems to hear and understand your woes. Not to mention, you wonder to yourself why did I ever take this trip in the first place?

Well, I guess even though tonight; I feel like Tom Hanks in castaway... And Wilson the volleyball is my only confidant. Tomorrow will be better and perhaps I may finally find a way off this island (rescue myself) by pulling together some resources at hand or not. But, at least I can joke about it now and perhaps I will not take on too many tasks and get frustrated tomorrow.

Tomorrow is another day.

Good night all and good night Wilson.

- Maureen
