todAAy i Am grAAteful & thAAnkful
to have played a small part in a wildly successful and entertaining fundraiser for our Houston Roundup (AA convention)
for the following excerpt from Alcoholics Anonymous (the book) ...
"Selfishness -- self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles. Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate."
I have attended four meetings in the past week where this paragraph was introduced as a topic of discussion. Coincidence? I think not.
I had better stay on top of my game and really, really work on Step 10.
that my days as a manipulator are fewer and farther between than they used to be
Do what you feel in your heart to be right -
for you'll be criticized anyway.
You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

Really good stuff here: self centeredness, the root. Gotta use some "Roundup"--like on the weeds. Root out the root.
I love the quote at the bottom.
Your group as great fundraisers!!
I think that we hear what we need to hear. It surely makes me think. Happy Monday, Dave.
This paragraph was introduced as a topic of discussion at the meeting I attended yesterday as well... coincidence? I think not!
No matter how I try to spin it in my head, that quote from the book is the truth!
Love the Elenor Roosevelt quote too! :)
Yup, we're all damned... Either way. No matter what... So just enjoy...
