I wrote this quote down from my "Fred Rogers: America's Favorite Neighbor" DVD.
"I think that everybody longs to be loved and longs to know that he or she is loveable. And consequently, the greatest thing that we can do is to help somebody know that they're loved and capable of loving." I know there are a lot of people feeling as empty and alone as I am. I keep this quote in my wallet and I think of it often. It reminds me to always let the people in my life know that they are important to me, that I do care about them, that they are special. People don't do this enough. And when someone new comes up to you and tries to make small talk, try and remember that they’re often desperately trying to say, “I’m good. I have value. I’m someone worth knowing.” Isn’t that what you’re saying when you reach out to others? It is for me. |

Thank you, John, for posting this. You are so right! We all tend to get so self-involved that we forget how much a kind word can mean to someone else. In fact, I stopped sending PMs to those I've been missing lately to read this post. How appropriate! Thanks again!

John, How right you are! It warmed my heart (and made me feel a bit guilty.) Thank-you so much for the kind reminder.
Take care, John. place

Thank you, John.....this reminds of that we all star in our own movie and frequently forget that there are other "features" going on around us......

(((John)))) You are so right. Thank you. I hope someone has told you that you deserve love and are capable of loving too.
And, welcome to the site. I don't think I've told you before.  Take care.

Welcome to the board, Soledad. Your name caught my attention because it was my mom's name.

I love that quote. I admire Fred Rogers very much. He was so wise. We all need to be reminded of what's really important sometimes.
