SUNDAY GRATITUDE EXTRAVAGANZA
| Letting Go | To Surrendur...Or to Accept? | When Nothing Happens | |TFLMS Weekend | Much, Much More |
I’m grateful for a packed morning and a chance to reflect on the olden days. I’m grateful for what’s in front of me. I’m grateful for working late and waking up excited. I’m grateful for the life I get to lead. I’m grateful to be sober today.
LAST WEEK ON TFLMS:
song of the week:
Letting Go
As my conception of “God” evolved, I noticed a strange thing: The expectations that were the fuel for the hamster wheel weren’t showing up for work as often. The hamster wheel started to sit idle for periods of time. I began to “turn things over” to the universe. Things like what other people did or felt suddenly seemed way above my pay grade. What began to creep in was gratitude. Like mint in a garden, really almost like a weed, if you let gratitude in, it starts to take the f***ing joint over.
To Surrender...Or To Accept?
I'm grateful for a run where the weather was perfect enough to motivate me to record my fastest mile splits in a long while. I'm grateful for a beautiful sunset drive to Golden to check out a new meeting. I'm grateful that my initial discomfort at being in a new meeting quickly melted away when I remembered the purpose for why all of us were there. I'm grateful for actively working on finding commonalities, not differences. I'm grateful AA has given me the framework to be less of a brat and instead discover paths that lead to constructive thinking. I'm grateful for a lead focused on Step 11, which got me reviewing the evolution of my relationship with prayer and meditation. I'm grateful for driving through the mountains and feeling deeply appreciative of how different my life has gotten over these past few years in sobriety. I'm grateful for the intangible gifts my parents gave me to live the life I lead today. I'm grateful for realizing my identity doesn't need to be wielded as tool …
