Publshed again! Laziness, Busyness, and Rest

Have you ever felt so tired and frustrated , wanting only to get away from everything and relax - and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?! Have you ever felt lazy, unable or unmotivated to get up and get your work done...despite being incredibly busy?  I'll let you in on a secret: I have a love/hate relationship with being busy. I hate being busy because then I feel overwhelmed, tired, overworked, and exhausted.  But I also love being busy - because at these moments, I feel productive, motivated, and energetic.  Weird, isn't it? I'm certain we've all had similar experiences at times.  So...what's up with this paradoxical love/hate with laziness, busyness, and rest? Why is it that we can feel so angry with being busy...but when we are suddenly free, we feel irritated with nothing to do? On a similar note, what's the deal with laziness and rest - are they ultimately the same thing - or are they different? Head on over to Fr. Anthony's website,
