Today I’m thinking about blame, for too many reasons to name.
Blame is a cognitive distortion which blows things out of proportion.

.
Blame is often the name of the game and it can hurt when people take aim.
Can you see blame in any way in my images for today?

If we need something to blame, the Large Hadron Collider is a good provider of same.

If blame is something you know, you can leave a comment below.
(The blame for all this rhyming lies in my song-writing focus and timing. )
Hoping to make blame a ghost and toast, I thank you for reading this post!

I think that I’m wonderfully weird because I still think and see the world like a child
That is wonderful, beth.
We decided that we’d go to our last baseball game of the year today, Ann, and I picked up our tickets at the box office earlier this week. Of course it’s rainy … I think I’ll blame Casey at the Bat and the Mudville Nine.
Makes sense to me, Mark.
I think I’m wonderfully weird in my art and at times in my writing. I also have a special language I use with my dogs. Hope no one else has ever overheard me using it as it is very embarrassing!!!
I think what you share is wonderful.
Thanks, Ann. My dogs, too, seem to have accepted my weirdness. At least they are both here in bed with me, except for Morrie, who has been banished to his own bed for lack of a recent bath.
Is it weird that I want to celebrate Blame It On The Large Hadron Collider Day all the time now? It’s probably also weird that I only just learned that bay leaves used in cooking are commonly laurels–of the “don’t rest on your laurels” fame. If that’s not weird the reason I looked up bay leaves is because I was reading about opals and there’s a folk belief that an opal wrapped in a bay leaf will grant the holder invisibility. There’s no word on whether that’s before or after the leaf is used in spaghetti sauce. And I was reading about opals because, well, I’m weird.
It’s all wonderfully weird, Chris.
I love that post Christopher, although I don’t love bay leaves much (they are, at best, innocuous). I did not know about large hadron collider day! Must celebrate
We must celebrate whatever we can.
Your opening definition is a sound one
Thank you, Derrick!
Unfortunately I play the blame game far more than I want to! I know I shouldn’t!
We all do, Carol Anne. You are not alone!
