SUNDAY GRATITUDE EXTRAVAGANZA (Our 1,000th Post!!!)
| Absurd & Incomprehensible | Big Little Actions | Scattered Thoughts |TFLMS Weekend | Much, Much More |
I’m grateful for a really busy week. I’m grateful for recharging batteries. I’m grateful for this newsletter. I’m grateful for the way things are now. I’m grateful for getting things done. I’m grateful for the song of the week. I’m grateful to be sober today.
Welcome to the new Sunday Gratitude Extravaganza—which looks a lot like the old Saturday Gratitude Round-Up—but it’s better, much better, trust me. Also, please note this is our 1,000th post. That’s right, we’ve invaded your email inbox one thousand times since this all began—and I’m not sorry. I know I speak for Jane and Sean—this is a labor of love, something that has helped us get and stay sober, it’s been challenging and fun to do—and it has brought an unbelievable amount of meaning and purpose to our lives. Hopefully, you got something out of it, too!
Hope you enjoy!!!
LAST WEEK ON TFLMS:
song of the week:
Absurd and Incomprehensible
Anyway, my commute and semi-regular coffee and snack jaunts during the day have me doing a fair amount of weaving through the tourist-packed sidewalks by the library and I am here to tell you, this is truly excellent music for that. This is not true of all music, I listen to the Clash a lot, but they do not produce very good walking music.
Big Little Actions
I’m grateful for sleeping in fluffy sheets that just came out of the laundry. I’m grateful for revisiting an old running route I used to do when I was visiting Denver a few years back. I’m grateful for how delicious vegan nuggets are. I’m grateful to still be thinking about the newcomers who shared at their first ever meeting, reminding me how much courage it takes to show up and ask for help. I’m grateful my dog’s cough has mitigated and doesn’t seem to be serious. I’m grateful for how much sun we've been getting and how that lifts my spirits. I'm grateful for my health. I'm grateful for a day without driving. I'm grateful for my parents coming to visit me for the first time in my new city soon and how I don't feel the need to act out because of it. I'm grateful to have a healthier relationship with family and live in a space of acceptance. I'm grateful to be learning constantly in AA and letting the wisdom of others help me grow.

Very, very little like time travel, tbh.

I'm very behind on my reading but I'm hoping to catch up! Nice work, all of you!
