OK, Welcome to July 4th, 2023 folks ! It appears to me to be a rainy forecast here in Westboro, Mass., At Chauncy Lake Del Webb Condos. Many, will be preparing country wide to celebrate America’s birth as a Nation and we the American People should be grateful for all we have. For we have peace here in America, people are working again and most have food and shelter these days. Not all though, so we should basically be celebrating yes, but also thinking of the less fortunate members of our country. We as the people should be helping each other to survive and exist at all times, for it is We The People, this country was formed for and is in existance for!
Each year that goes by as a Disabled Veteran that I am, I watch Memorial Day come and go and then we come to the Fourth of July. Barbecues are lit, hot dogs and hamburgers and salads and food flows and drinks too, as we mingle with family and friends at homes, at clubs and on beaches.We laugh, we cry, we giggle and we sigh. Some of us are younger than others of course, that is how life goes, we at Dell Webb/ Chauncy Lake are lucky, for we have reached 55, and we are still alive and able to do stuff we need to do and like.
Some of us walk alot, some ofus sit by the pool, someof us read, some play cards.majong, dominoes, or billards or go out to eat. We tend to do adventures and we tend to try to keep busy as much as we can. Then we must stop and think at times of those who are not as fortunate, the ones who must stay inside their condos or at home whereever they may be. For they are lonely too, some of them need help[ to survive, some of them need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on and the more fortunate should be the ones to help them. Selfish behavior is not a good way to go in life folks, offer some ahelping hand, friendship or a conversation, make their days, better. It is not asking for much to say hi, how are you, or do you want to come along, is it, and if you areoneof the unfortunate ones, or were, you would be appreaciative I am sure.
We moved to these condos like Chauncy Lake for the main reason in y opinion of being among people our own age groups of 55 plus. As one man told me here, isn’t at least part of the reason you moved to Chauncy Lake an dthese condos the ability to get involved socially with others? Of course it is folks and we at Chauncy Lake know it, and many encourage it too. Events get planned and more and people come and go, but there will always be some who do not participate. Let me say this to all residents of Chauncy Lake/ Dell Webb Condos here, not all people can take crowds, not all people feel comfortable in crowds or large groups. Others may have a poor opinion of themselves also. They may be touchy to what others say or do, or fearfull of getting involved due to being recently divorced or widowed. Or they may just feel like they don’t belong, so thjey avoid it all. Doesn’t mean they don’t want to be involved, or invited, it means they feel uncomfortable for whatever personal reason they may have. So don’t frown on them, nor should you push them to get involved, but encourage yes, invite yes, but, as the very old saying goes, you can leada horse to water, but you can not make them drink, ok.
As long as all residents at Chauncy Lake/ Dell Webb condos, are polite, friendly and respectfull of one another the community will be fine and grow and form bonds. It is important to remember as we go along, that not everyone will like each other, but as the community grows, it wil be easier to avoid the ones you don’t and easier to get with the ones you do. Not all get comfortable in such a community quickly, some ay never be comfortable here, thus we do havea turn over rate of condos lately that is happening. It will never be permanently the same people always here, people leave for different reasons and we all know this as adults. Some may get divorced and split, some may become widowed and want to be near family, some may want private homes. single ones. Everyone is different and not everyone is made for or can adapt to condo living as it is. Some of us, ended up here, because,family put us here, thinking it best for us, and we agreed at that time. Now some may change their minds and leave due to that.
As, Rich said, who runs the Chauncy55 page, a community of friends and neighbors is what we want to be. I understand his thoughts of positive, and interacting and open communication. It works, if we all give it a try and stay on the same page. The only way, Chauncy Lake/ Dell Webb Condo Community works, is if we respect one another, communicate well, and stick together for any purposes of dealing with the HOA, Upkeep of the community.
While I agree, we don’t need negative here, voicing disagreements or problems and asking questions, should not be frowned upon. Sometimes people just need answers. So in the end, let me say this to all who buy and move into Chauncy Lake/ Dell Webb, Condos, open communication is vital, listening is vital, adhearing to the rules is vital. Yet please don’t misinderstand what I am going to say, don’t tell people who ask questions, not to ask them, don’t tell them they are being negative to for asking them either. It’s wrong to do, tell tjhem where to get their answers, how to get their answers and how to do it, but don’t shut them down, by saying they are being negative, your wrong mor ethan they are then. They need the answers, supply them, or point them in the direction of someone who will and can. Thank You.
