AA Thought for the Day

The Handshake
I stumbled up the steps and came into this room, and some guy was up front talking, but I couldn't hear what he said.
A couple of guys shook my hand. Another one put his arm around my shoulder, and a third one gave me a cup of coffee.
These guys had never seen me before -- they didn't know me from a bag of beans -- but all of a sudden I felt they liked me.
An elementary thing, you say? Of no importance? Nonsense!
When you've been lost, lonely, forgotten, rejected, it's the most important thing in the world to have somebody shake your hand.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 1], p. 157
Thought to Ponder . . .
That light at the end of the tunnel may be you.
