I confess I struggled over a title, but this was good enough for Robert Browning and his Jocoseria poems. Regular readers will hopefully concede using a word that mixes humour (i.e. jocularity) with seriousness, is something I have aspired to deliver since penning my first newsletter to you over five years ago.
My decision to retire was so much easier than working through these last few weeks—as you likely know from experience! Yet in all things we face, a positive approach is the first determinant of a successful outcome. I know, decisively, HKCT will continue to thrive and prosper, grow and adapt, face challenges head-on and creative opportunities under the stewardship of Tara Russell. I also know that there is a core of professional, committed team members who pursue excellence in what they do daily for you, our clients, and the values that guide HKCT to achieve. We have come so far, together. We have more team members and more vehicles taking you to your world. We have better systems and processes for more seamless transport services. More shopping options and remarkable social outings each month. And now, we are emulating our efforts for the benefit of Central Coast residents. I am so grateful for your support during the sometimes turbulent years of aged care reforms, efficiency measures and growing pains. I am so proud of how you’ve embraced change, my repeated aspiration for you to remain connected, active and stimulated. As poet L.R Frost wrote, “we all have to breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary.” As I commence a new life chapter, and envisage the future I want for myself, I share with you my favourite poem. It has been a privilege and an honour…cheers, Helen.
