I'm Lost


I have an empty feeling in me that I just can't seem to shake.I am so used to people depending on me not just financially, physically, or emotionally. I had coworkers depend on me daily. My kids depended on me. My wife depended on me. It was a great feeling. It was what drove me. Now that the kids are grown and have houses of their own channges things. Now that my wife works full time while I continue to hunt for a job and is basically self sufficient changes things. I was kind of like a mailman for 32 years. I delivered daily. Now I feel kind of lost in the shuffle of life.
I'm not depressed, lonely or having a pity party, I'm just pointing out the shift my life has taken and me trying to adjust to it. Where do I go from here? I'm staying busy working around the house, reading the bible daily(I've recently resumed this), and working out regularly.
I just wonder how to get back in the swing of life and able to feel like I'm part of it. I am on the outside looking in. Somehow I need to get on the inside looking out. I need to get rid of this lost feeling. Its taken me 4 months to put this into words. Hopefully its my first step climbing out of this rut. Rainy days suck.
Later

Blessings,
Steg

What Runs This World


I'll tell you the answer , but you already know.
Computers.
We all have them and can't seem to live without them. They seem to take over our lives.
Growing up, we managed to get along just fine , but now the world depends on computers to transfer money,control traffic,air traffic control.I don't know which device is more valuable today- the cell phone or the computer.
Lyd is 15 months old and we gave her her first computer.(A Fisher Price Model I think). I'm sure she'll be showing me tricks by the time she is 4. Getting old makes it harder to accept change.The world is changing so fast that I'm not sure I can keep up.
Has anyone found me a construction job yet? I think my old job will be done away with and computers will replace me. I mean replaced me.

Blessings,
Steg

Wedding Day Tomorrow


Friday, Zak and Christin are getting married. They start their new life together.The Stegman's gain a new member to the family. Christin, Jessie, Kristin and Lori will now outnumber Josh, Zak and myself. I don't like being a member of a minority. The boys have always ruled in this house but, with the addition of Jessie and Christin now the girls rule. This isn't all bad because the Steg girls are all teachers and we guys still have a lot to learn about life.
Have a good holiday and wish Zak and Kristin good luck.

Blessings,
Steg
