Tomorrow is the board meeting for Candlelighters. I am currently President but gave my resignation a week ago. So far, no one has surfaced to show any interest in the position. This pisses me off to no end. This is a great organization with an amazing purpose. The board is full of many talented but overstretched people.. Okay.. so my question is this: Why don't they resign if they can't commit to help this organization grow? Seriously... Just because it may look good if you ever get in High Profile to say that you serve on a board for a group that helps cancer kids - you are doing NO ONE any favors by staying where you are. I'm not doing anyone any favors by spreading myself so thin.. So I am resigning. tomorrow will be my last board meeting and I am done. I will work with the new officers to get them situated and then I will go back in to my mode of parent helper person, if I can.
It looks like we might have a good offer from a solid buyer on the house. Now waiting for the appraisal, which was delayed because of the weather, to see when we can move in to the contract phase and set up a closing. We are told this could be middle March before it happens. This is actually good with me.. We are going to Philly the end of February and I hated to think that we needed to move right before or the week we returned. Now we at least have a couple of weeks. Huge sigh of relief.
So.. after I scrape Candlelighters off my plate and then find a rental house and get us moved, I'll be searching for more things to eliminate that cause me unnecessary stress. I feel great about this!
