I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change…

I can’t help but compare what is going on within our gates to the off-Broadway musical from where I borrowed the title for this piece. Basically, the play is about love and relationships – yeah, we love the package and even buy into it for all sorts of reasons, but then we want to change the one we love. Sound familiar?? When we decided to move to CWL we had to love it enough to move here – the lake, the gates, the rural setting, the home values, whatever; but now there are those who want to change the very thing they loved. As in the play this seldom, if ever, works in the real world and I do not believe it will work in CWL either. With positives come negatives and it is our responsibility to learn as many of these as we can BEFORE we make a commitment. It is not fair to a spouse to try to change them AFTER the “I do’s” have been said and it is not fair to our community to try to do the same thing.

While change can be a positive thing it is most successful best when done in small increments which can be easily altered if they do not work. We need to break out and identify what needs to be done within Candlewick, prioritize those items, move forward making corrections and/or changes and do them in a timely and responsible manner.
