1953 Buick Wildcat
todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
for the larger-than-normal attendance at the early morning meeting over the past coupla months
that my friend Norris L. told his A.A. story of experience, strength and hope
that I am still waiting for the day that I don't have a part in everything that happens in my life
that I took the blame for the major problems in my life
A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
- John Burroughs

I like that quote.
The quote hits home. I so agree. Struggling with a friend who blames everyone but himself.
The blaming is becoming part of our culture in a way that wasn't acceptable a generation ago, if I hear myself giving an excuse I disappoint myself. If I hear the blaming, I am disappointed in the blamer.
Of course, there should be no pride in self-flagellation which I'm guilty of doing.
I don't flagellate, but I blame myself regularly..on the hour. And I live with that...
Beautiful BOAT--er--I mean...BUICK.
