4 SOLERA DIAMOND VALLEY | MAY 2024 Understanding the Do's and Don'ts for a Happy Life oughts from Pat Sivalingam, Board Member As we age, it's important to face the fact that the things that we did when we were young are not so easy to do anymore. Our mind is young, but our body is not young anymore. We wish it was not true and our bodies could be the same as our young minds. It's kind of like the dog situation. e dog chases aer every car and when it catches one, it cannot drive it. Once we accept the fact that we have limitations, we then can adjust to our capabilities and accomplish the things that we can accomplish depending on our ability. Once we have that mindset, we will be happy to do the things that we can, and not be unhappy with the things that we cannot do anymore. For most of us, between now and death there isn't much time le. Let's do what we can to be happy and proud of ourselves. Getting old is a fact of life, and who wants to spend the rest of their life grumpy and unhappy? Quality of life beats quantity of life any day. The Communications Committee Report By Clare Mendez, Resident Good news. If you've been wanting to be on the Communications Committee you're in luck.

Also, the indoor spa was shut down by the Health Department, aer they found the pH levels to be a hair off regulation. e indoor spa has been re- inspected and re-opened. Violations: Opened- 17 ; Closed- 13 Surprise, surprise! With spring up-and-coming, yards may need some extra care. Many of the violations inspected this month concerned weeds and overgrown lawns. Action Items (information is accurate as of April 10, 2024) • e interior remodel is continuing on schedule, and if all things go well, you will be reading this in e Lodge! • e indoor pool HVAC unit is being maintained and repaired as needed. • e concrete slab in front of the back patio entrance has been grinded down for a smoother finish. e Vendor should be back out to attend to the other side closest to the door.
