The Magic of Colors — Refreshed! Excerpt:
White fluffy clouds dotted the blue sky and sunshine sparkled on the freshly watered plants. A breeze gently rustled through leaves and branches of the trees. Lydia looked out of the window at the bright blue sky. It was a magnificent day! She began to think of all the fun things she could do outside. She could swing, draw a picture, walk, write a story, ride her bike, or read a book. But just then, her dad walked in carrying some paper, two old shirts, and four colorful containers. “I thought today might be a good day for finger painting!” he said excitedly.

Lydia’s face lit up with a smile. “Ooh, that sounds fantastic! May we paint outside?”
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
