Years ago, I had an AH HA, I get it – moment. I finally realized the VALUE and WEIGHT of the phrase: ‘It’s the THOUGHT that counts.’
As a child, there can be disappointments during Holidays with rituals of Gift Giving. Those Holidays may have started out with deeping meanings, but became more commercialized – even birthday and anniversary celebration gift giving.
As we get older, some of our friends move away, some of our family start to pass on – more and more we see the value of ‘BEING THOUGHT OF.’
That’s how I came to TRULY UNDERSTAND that phrase – ‘It’s the THOUGHT that counts’.
Think about it. To TRULY be HELD/EMBRACED in someone else’s thought in a warm way. What a GIFT! To know that with all the business and business dealing going on in other people’s days – for that person to have HELD ‘YOU!’ – YES YOU! in their thought for that moment – PRICELESS!
Wheather they bought you a stick of gum, a tacky pair of shoes you’ll never wear, some clothing item that doesn’t fit and ‘isn’t really you’… YOU were THOUGHT of!
*sigh – what a beautiful phrase – IT’S THE THOUGHT, that COUNTS.
May you BE and FEEL thought of in a warm, embraced way – and if you feel you have no one doing this for you – considered yourself thought of by ME as you read this.
Thinking and feeling warm embracing thoughts for everyone in the world –
