“You are always “YOUNG” – with Thoughtfulness!”

Jul 12th “You are always “YOUNG” – with Thoughtfulness!”

Think back – as far back as you can – to – when you received – your very first Letter, addressed with only your “NAME” on the envelope? Maybe, instead of a LETTER – you received a “BIRTHDAY CARD” for one of your earlier birthdays – and this may have been before you had started going to school? You were so young – and NOW – you are given an envelope with just YOUR name…YOU LOVE seeing only your name on the envelope – and everyone that comes to your house – you have to show them – what you have received – and it was only addressed to YOU!

“WOW!” – There is someone… somewhere in this world – who is thinking of just “little ole you” and they hardly even know you?? This does make a big impression on you – this is something that you really do like! Somewhere in the back of your brain – something is beginning to work. This is something you let your brain think about – and you continue to give more and more thought – until you finally start to ask questions of your parents and maybe even some of your friends?

Thoughtfulness…how does one teach this superb characteristic to one’s children – so that – they will soon learn… that in just being thoughtful in all manner of our daily living – we all seem to be happier and live with a more joyfulness in our own hearts – it is like passing on LOVE – to another – in very good ways – that the youngsters will copy and soon – without even a second thought – be sharing LOVE through their own very simple thoughtfulness – in a giving forward spirit of LOVE – that as one grows older – can see that they have attained the one GIFT of LIFE – that we all want …and that is the feeling of YOUR – being always… “YOUNG of HEART!

It does not take much to start a “YOUNG of HEART” program in your household – when your young children have birthdays or any of the other celebrations you enjoy – see to it – that an envelope is mailed with a card to the youngster …with just their very own NAME – and let them receive it and open it and get that feeling that they are LOVED so much… that they are ready to always – be receiving special mail – just for them to enjoy – and forever.

It also helps – at this same time to get the real idea of THOUGHTFULNESS in motion…Now have a notebook for the child to record the name and address and phone number of that sender – so that at some time in the future – your child would be ready to also send to them a card of THANKS or maybe for a birthday or some similar occasion – letting the child know – that for them to also send out mail – that their friend or relative will also be receiving that same LOVE – that LOVE that the child felt – and that is what makes for all of our friendships to last – forever!

As a PARENT and even for a GRAND-PARENT – – there will be a TIME in LIFE – when you may not feel as young as you once did – but – if you find that there are children and or grand-children nearby or even miles away …this is where you will soon be as “young as you want to be” – just start a “Thoughtfulness” program with those youngsters – and start sharing so much of your – LOVE – that you will soon be getting that good old feeling …back – You are as young as when you were also in full bloom – in your twenties – or whenever you felt so young – that everything – you were doing – was just the best of all the JOYS of your LIFE!

“Having young children around – makes you feel just as young as the children – that’s the secret of LIFE – YOU are as YOUNG as you want to feel!”
