I’m grateful for a bright, cold Saturday morning. I’m grateful for an excellent cup of coffee. I’m grateful for the things that happen when I let them. I’m grateful for people who get it. I’m grateful when I get it. I’m grateful for a pretty tidy desk. I’m grateful for peace in my heart. I’m grateful to be sober today.
Happy Saturday—I don’t know about you, but I’m glad to have made it here, because it’s time for the:
Saturday Gratitude Round-Up
Seven Days of Gratitude and Associated Musings One Tiny Email
This was a big week at TFLMS, there’s been a lot cooking here at Sober HQ. If you noticed, I spent a lot of the week writing about my spirit animal, Wile E. Coyote. I’m pleased to let know that I’ve amalgamated those musings into one, newly improved, highly-concentrated, action-packed piece:
Read it here: The 1000 Deaths of Wile E. Coyote

“ So now, forever on my arm, is a reminder of peace, a reminder to ebb and flow just like the ocean, a reminder of where I come from. A one year sober anniversary gift to myself.”

The 1000 Deaths of Wile E. Coyote (Part I)
“Everything WEC tried to catch the Road Runner ended not just in failure, but in abject disaster and severe personal injury. Everything I tried to get sober, to stop drinking, somehow managed to end in a place that was worse than where it began.”
Daily Gratitude List 1.25.23
The 1000 Deaths of Wile E. Coyote (Part II)
“I came here today to praise Wile E. Coyote, not to bury him. My spirit animal is a little worse for the wear (and the thousands of horrible deaths and crushing-type injuries), but he’s dedicated, resourceful, innovative and has a sense for the ironic. Say what you want about his methods, and he’s probably kind of insane, but the Coyote never f****** quits and I think that’s what I really admire most about him.”

Script Revisions
“But what if he could have re-framed the central struggle of his life? What if the Coyote could convince himself that the point of this was to chase the Road Runner, not catch him? Is there a better, more inventive and creative chaser of Road Runners than Wile E. Coyote? I’ll answer that for you: There is not.”
And that’s a wrap. Have a great Saturday. See you tomorrow.
