I apologize, for I fear I have nothing insightful or encouraging to offer my readers today, hence posting so late in the day. It’s just one of those days. Nothing in particular caused it today, it just is what it is. Maybe the tables can turn and you all can offer me your wisdom today. :)

I feel uninspired (and defeated) in almost every way imaginable today. Max only took a short nap, so of course I didn’t get a whole lot accomplished during that time, when I have about a zillion things that need to get done. But even if I had 6 hours to myself today, I still don’t want to do anything that I need to and would probably still accomplish next to nothing!

I have a few hundred photos to edit, and I only managed to push through about 10. I have laundry to finish, but there’s still a load left sitting in each the washer and the dryer. I got one load of dishes in the dishwasher only to find another piling up in the sink. Bills to pay, emails to return, floors to vacuum, toddler to feed……. Catch my drift? I’m feeling pretty blah across the board, so I’m sure that no matter what I tried to blog about today, it will just sound pessimistic… so we’ll keep this short. ;-)

How do you manage to pull yourself out of a funk when you feel stuck? Have any nifty tips or tricks? Is there ever a particular cause to your funk or “uninspiredness?”

I’m trying not to drown in everything that is demanding my attention. And the more I feel like I’m drowning, the less inspired I am. Max and I are watching Finding Nemo… So maybe we should all just chant in unison, “Just keep swimming.” Wait, that actually does help. :)
