When it Rains, it Pours, but When it Pours, it ends with a Bright Rainbow

I am going to take “look at the bright side” to a whole other level. Combine these two well-known quotes and make a beautiful ending. For me, this week has been a doozy. I mean, other than getting back into the flow of things after a long weekend, I am working from my mom’s house all week, and although that in itself is a travesty, the Wi-Fi has not been working. So, even writing this post took all week to compose, as the Wi-Fi would go out every time I would start writing. This also has caused a drop in productivity because I am the type to get distracted and not want to get back to work when I am interrupted. Once I finish my client’s work, and the Wi-Fi is out, I will stop, go on TikTok, and then it’s a wrap; you will not get me back into the workflow for the rest of the night. I need a clear space, mind, and no distractions. The fact that the internet has been inconsistent has really messed me up. For example, I lost connection on three back-to-back calls; how EMBARRASSING?!
You may be thinking, “Maria, why not go to a café or Starbucks to get your work done?” (Other than it’s too much of a distraction for me.) Simply put, my family dog does not like my puppy, and leaving them alone for hours on end would not end well. Plus, if my pup makes any mess in my mother’s home… let’s not even start with that. To top the cake, my therapist told me today we have to end our sessions as she has to leave the practice due to some circumstances, and THAT ONE… now that one I will need to recover from. Like, what do I say, “no, you cannot do that,” like… I already know how hard it can be for a therapist to even build the courage to say that. So, you have to respect it, but I am unwell with that choice because if you have been following me for a while, you know that it took me forever to find her, and I can start with someone else in her same practice, which I will test it out, but I am just going to have to find the rainbow in that one.
Overall, I believe everything happens for a reason, and maybe my growth and development will be more efficient with another therapist. Maybe the Wi-Fi not working is a sign I need to slow down and prepare better. Whatever is meant to come from this is certainly making itself known. Life, the Universe, it’s all telling me these things are for a reason, and whatever I am meant to be doing is coming my way. I have to let this storm pass and let the rainbow shine brightly over the remnants of the rain showers.
This post was more of a ramble and will not be as lengthy because the Wi-Fi will not permit me to do more. I would instead give you a glimpse of quality rather than a mess of quantity.
My message for you this week is to always have a game plan, prepare for the chance of change to your routine, and not let it deter you from finishing your tasks. If you need to, keep a to-do list to remind yourself of what must be done and give yourself adequate time to mark those tasks as complete!
As always, learn from my mistakes and leave your suggestions in the comments below for next week’s topic.
