Changes coming

How does one get away from changes in a constantly changing world. Better yet, why do I feel I need to?
My husband came home about a month ago and informed me that his company would be merging with a larger company in January. We have been through this before with the same company taking over a smaller one that "hubby of mine" worked for. I was not thrilled and today remain highly skeptical. However, Hubby of mine is very excited about it and is preparing for that eventuality.
Last night I attended a meeting for our non-profit and they are debating over whether to accept a merger with a collaborative group of non-profits here on the island. Personally, I think this would be a huge boon to us since we could actually get rid the current leadership who are not real knowledgeable about what they are doing. If I sound like I am skeptical about the leadership, I am! It is hard not to be when you find that the accounting books hadn't been reconciled to the bank statements for a year and a half because it was "impossible" to do. When you have a director who attends a workshop on fundraising and comes away calling it a class on grant writing 101. In actuality grant writing was only discussed in this work shop by this statement, "if you are looking for a class on grant writing you came to the wrong workshop. This class is strictly on fundraising on a local level. It will not include grant writing in any way!" What bothers me most about this is that this co-director informed the whole board that this was a class on grant writing! That was her summary of the event! Now that I am only a board member I find myself really reluctant to take anything she learns or relates to us at face value. I in truth wonder if she actually sees things from a different planet like maybe Pluto..... HMMM Pluto girl!
Anyway, this merger is more than likely a good thing for us since we will actually be able to achieve some of our goals. I am excited about that and I like the director currently in charge of this non-profit. She is smart and many of her ideas for TU are ideas I began incorporating when I was the director. So I think this is a good thing. I also think that since Pluto girl sees fit to kind of phase me out of the shop this coalition will be a good opportunity for me to be able to participate in my community and achieve some goals I have set for myself.
However change is hard and I do not enter into these transitions without a little ambivalence.
Hubby of Mine and I just got back from visiting our grandson in Florida. While I was not impressed with Florida, I was totally besotted with my grandson! He is the most wonderful boy there ever was (not including my two wonderful boys of course!) and he will probably be able to walk on water when he grows up a little more. Right now the walking is a bit of a challenge. He will be one year old on Thursday. It is hard to have a grandchild who lives so far away. We live in Washington State over north of Seattle. It is even harder knowing how much he will grow in the next few months. Hubby and I are planning on visiting at least two or three times a year or arranging for them to come up here and visit though and this should work out OK. It is the way I was raised and I was very close to my grandparents and my great Aunt Ella.
Well, I have done some writing on my blog again. I don't feel quite so optimistic this AM so I wont promise I will continue to write every day but I will try and we will see how it goes.
Till tomorrow or whenever, R
