Total random truths

Do you ever find yourself at an unfamiliar blog by luck or wandering and stumble across something that just totally strikes a chord with how you are feeling?  I just did that!  The following is from a blog called What's Next Bryce?

So I’m not bothered by what I have yet to accomplish, but rather what I fail to accomplish on a day-to-day basis. Each day an opportunity for growth, adventure and success is squandered by fear, distraction and laziness.
What’s worst is that going to the office provides a cover for incompetence. Coming home after each ineffectual day I felt much better than I would have if I had simply sat around my house, gone for a work out locally and called up some friends. Being able to say, “I spent the day at the office,” somehow made me feel accomplished even though this couldn’t have been further from the truth.

This passage is from a blog I have really no connection to, and yet...these words could've been uttered from my mouth.  I just got off the phone with my husband that I was in a bit of a funk, and having a hard time motivating myself to do things I know need to be done.  Nothing major, but that yard sale is coming up and there are still a gazillion boxes that need to be sorted and set up, as an example.  The physical clutter in my life is resulting in emotional clutter and anguish within.  I feel frustrated that I can't seem to get over myself, you know?  And I don't have an office to go to right now, and this is of major concern to me.  The home office is fine, but feels isolating at times.  Anyway, enough of that.  Forgive the stream of consciousness!
