Good evening and welcome to the Sleepy Bookshelf

where we put down our worries from the day and pick up a good book.

I'm your host, Elizabeth.

Thank you so much for being here tonight.

This evening, we are returning to Anne of the island.

But before that, let's take a moment to prepare for a restful sleep.

Wherever you are, notice how nice it feels

to close your eyes after a long day.

Begin to breathe nice and

out through your nose for fall and out through your mouth for fall.

With each breath you are calming your body and mind.

You are melting away the stresses of the day and slowing down.

Ready for sleep.

Focus on where you are. for sleep.

Focus on where you are right now.

And release any thoughts that might creep up about today or tomorrow.

Always come back to your breath.

And when you're ready,

drift your focus to the sound of my voice as I recap our last episode. The first semester at Redmond whizzed by and Anne was back home for winter vacation. Early snowstorms had covered Prince Edward Island in drifts,

making it difficult for anyone to go out.
