What you see is a choice. The reality is, I was simply impatient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I still have a full calendar, but I enjoy a rainy day. It\u2019s a great opportunity to slow down, make alternative plans, and be present.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like today. It rained of course, but I took the opportunity to relax at Sully\u2019s Rooftop in Mooloolaba. I sat with a friend and took in the view, we talked, read, ate food and put myself in a positive mindset for the week ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s just a different view, and where else would I want to be? Bring on the rain! #goodwork #lead #rebuild<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/karlnielsen.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9965-1-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/karlnielsen.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9965-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/karlnielsen.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9965-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/karlnielsen.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9965-1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/karlnielsen.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9965-1-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/karlnielsen.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9965-1-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/karlnielsen.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9965-1-1400x787.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rainy cloudy days used to frustrate me.
