The most oft-quoted phrase in my home group
was "Gratitude is an action word."
"Into action" meant I accepted responsibility
to give back what I had freely received. . .
Whether it was pouring coffee in my home group,
or going on a Twelfth-Step call,
I entered a new pattern of thinking.
I thought not only about myself,
but also about others. . .
The smile from my face traveled to my heart. . .
I learned to be grateful for the day.
Smile, it's a free facelift.
T L C = Tears, Laughter, Caring.
