Often I am able to act in an adequately flexible and adaptable way, but in my heart I generally believe that I only will truly embrace a change if (1) it's what I would have picked anyway, (2) I had some hand in its design, and (3) there's something about it I can call "fun". Arrogant soul. However these days I observe myself dealing with SO many new things coming my way; I am startled that I'm not just tolerating this extremely fluid situation, but relishing it.

As I look at what I have just written, I see that (1) in many ways, this is exactly what I want, (2) the God who loves me enthusiastically had the primary hand in its design, and (3) well, yes, I am having huge fun. Having such dear friends family on my side is also a significant contribution to my well-being. Thank you.

Although I'm continuing to set up my corporate "stuff" (straightening out e-mail access, applying for a travel credit card, learning to avoid political faux pas), I'm beginning to participate in the training programs, set up coaching appointments with interested participants, etc. So it's not a dream after all -- I will eventually earn my salary. One would hope.
