I found out today (October 14) that both of my websites: MoveMe Quotes and My Blog were infected with Malware.
And not just a little bit of malware… but, 3,000 compromised files worth of malware.
This is not even two weeks after my websites were down for other reasons I shared.
And I’m frustrated.
And I have anxiety about all of the content that’s at risk that could be lost.
And, maybe worst of all, I feel helpless.
…When it rains, it pours, eh?
But, I’ve done all that I can do. My web developers are on it. I have an appointment set up with a specialist on Monday (October 16). And all I can do now is wait.
Maybe you’ve found yourself in a similar situation recently. One where there was plenty to worry about, but nothing more that could be done about it.
And while we could allow the frustration to flourish, the anxiety to continue to brew, and the helplessness to continue to fester in our minds…
…What these situations could also be are opportunities to practice letting go.
And practice filling ourselves up with gratitude that we have something (someone) worth feeling this way about. And meditate on ways we can better prepare ourselves moving forward—because this sure won’t be the last time something like this happens, eh?
And to be clear, this isn’t empty “positive thinking” and this isn’t head-in-the-sand avoidance.
…This is how we flex our resiliency muscles.
…This is how we keep moving forward in life rather than mentally dragging ourselves to an intolerable standstill.
…This, my friends, is Grade-A strategy.
