Blissful Books Excerpt:
As Billy and Emily walked up to the library with their dad, Emily asked Billy, “Are you excited you’re reading to us today?”
Billy smiled at her and said, “Yeah. I also feel nervous.”
Emily said, “I’ll be there with you. I know you’ll be great, cause you read to me.”
He smiled at her and said, “Thanks. I hope everyone enjoys this book. It was my favorite so I thought the little kids mightlike it too.”
“Good idea.” Billy’s dad said as they approached the librarian.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating in a tranquil pool, safe and relaxed, as the water rocks you gently.
