Today is one of those days that there is lots of household work getting done; but not by me. Experience has taught me that while good intentions and a desire to help are nice, they don't get the job done. It is better just to get out of the way and let the worker do the work without me in the way. The other thing experience has taught me is that unless I get an invitation to supervise; DON'T.
Unfortunately, even with all these wonderful lessons from experience, you would think that I would also have learned that feeling useless shouldn't be a problem. Well, once again, my emotional Steve blocked the rational Steve's messages. However, I didn't curse, snap at my wife or try to kick the cat. I stayed out of the way and worked on other projects. I believe that I have witnessed some personal growth. Of course, the day is not over, yet.
