I did not mention previously that I have greater expectations of myself than anyone else around us. I tend to focus inward and make all things that go badly my fault.
Fault is something that a catholic education will drill into you. Recognizing that humans are weak in many ways is something catholic education ignores.
“… And if you should fail in this, humble yourself, make a new proposition, get up and continue on your way.” (Padre Pio)
I am feeling disappointment in myself today.

It’s interesting how our minds/emotions work. For years I felt, on some level, often inarticulable, that it was up to me to “fix” my brother’s alcoholism which implies that it was my “fault” he was a drunk. There came a moment when I realized how arrogant that was. Next to nothing in the world stems from my actions. I might be able to help someone, but it will be because it’s possible to help them and/or maybe because they allow it.
