Just thinking

It's the thought that counts. Or does it, really, does the thought of doing something really count, does it matter. If the thought never materialises or the thought is never shared, does it still count. If I thought of doing a good gesture and I never got around to doing it does it still count. If I tell you the thought but I never took any action to make the thought materialise - then does the thought still count. What if there was a good reason for not moving it from a thought to a physical thing does the thought still count. Or well just some my thoughts on thoughts.
