Don't take anyone's inventory but your own. (One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 21 October)

There is no need for me to accept blame for another person's irrational actions. (One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 4 October)

Self-inquiry puts you in touch with vital information about yourself which you have ignored, denied or may not be aware of. (Iyanla Vanzant, Until Today! 26 July)

It is easy to fool oneself about motives, and admitting it is hard, but very beneficial. (One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 26 September)

Self-knowledge and self-improvement are very difficult for most people. It usually needs courage and long struggle. (Abraham Maslow, in Touchstones, 23 October)

... we can get unlimited benefits from changing our way of thinking. No realistic person would consider this an easy task; indeed there is nothing more difficult in life! (One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 24 September)

Many situations can be clarified by the passing of time. (Theodore Isaac Rubin in Touchstones, 21 August)

Just for today, allow the little surprises of life to provide you with some more information that you need to know. (Iyanla Vanzant, Until Today! 26 September)

... pass what you have learned on to someone you know who is not moving. (Iyanla Vanzant, Until Today!, 19 August)

Put yourself through a self-improvement project that is designed to maximize your state of mind, body, and spirit.  Write your own personal curriculum and apply it each day.  (Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Wisdom Of The Ages, p. 165)

I've been listening to several Internet radio stations and recording some of the music.  I'm using the program, StreamWriter.

Self-Improvement

No one is too beaten down, too old, or too anything else to begin a self-improvement program. (Larsen & Hegarty, Believing In Myself, 20 April)

What one has to do usually can be done. (Eleanor Roosevelt, in The Book Of Choices by Mike Magee, M.D., p. 226)

... {today] do at least one small thing toward improving [your] life. (Eric V. Copage, Black Pearls, 12 March)

Attending to my own business will keep me from becoming a slave to a situation; that is why I will not get myself involved too deeply. This will set me free to work out my own salvation. (One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 23 March)

I found the back support belt I wear when I work in the yard. Actually, I remembered where it might be before I went to look for it. For some reason I'd left the belt in the back of the minivan, a place where I never leave it. Silly me!

Rain continues this morning. The weather forecast for the next four days calls for rain. There will probably me some local flooding in the low areas. This is always a dangerous time because some folks always fail to heed the warnings to turn around rather than try to drive through high water.

I'm behind in my volunteer work. The computer club meets on Thursday and I still haven't posted the latest meeting information. That's my morning project.
