Ch-ch-ch-changes

Today on the way to the meeting my boss, Philippe, told me we were getting a new VP of Quality (a new boss for me). This may not seem like a big deal, but to me this is the kind of thing that would have made me miserable in the past. What's going to happen? Will the new boss change the organization? Cut back on staff? What if they don't like me? So many questions, and in the past I would have tortured myself trying to think of all the ways in which this could go horribly wrong for me. Today, I'm handling it very differently. First, I know God is in control and I'm not. If I worry about it, God is in control. If I don't worry about it, God is still in control just as much. Second, I need to stay in today and not torture myself with things I can't control. I can't do anything about this, or how if affects me today, so I just need to worry about my job today, and that's what I'm doing. I've got to say, it's a big change. In this case, I am zero percent stressed about this and I feel great. The new way of handling stuff is a great improvement and makes life much better.
