I Can't Believe It... But At the Same Time I Can

The pool is almost done. The $350,000 renovation that signals the reconstruction of an entire community - from its low point a few years ago when only 65 people were members of the pool - to now - the next page that we have turned. Moving on from the old can be tough, but this moving on has so much hope. Yes, we will miss the old house-shaped pool. Yes, we will miss the oversize baby pool. But this renovation says COME ON IN and enjoy Virginia Hills.

Sure, other pools are nice. Other pools have the high member counts. But here, you leave your attitude at the door - you are a member of a family. This reconstruction signals the fact that families change sometimes. And sometimes other family members become more powerful and do what is good for the pool. Because having only 60 members and not telling anyone about the impending crash and burn of a community is NO WAY to handle that sort of crisis.

Some people chose to be negative when this news broke - but others chose to take the positives and to look ahead at the bright future that this place holds. Those who took the positive direction planned for change. They knew the potential - and not only did they know it, but they actively went out and sought it. And succeeded. So now we stand at another crossroads - yes, we were taking a chance by not waiting to renovate - but we chose to do so, proactively. And now we have an even brighter future ahead of us.

Just wait 'til you see us in five years.
