Sparkling Splashes Excerpt:
Lisa’s mom stepped into the room and said, “Hi, Lisa! It looks like it’s going to be pretty hot today. I was thinking it might be a good day to go to the pool. What do you think?”
Lisa’s face lit up with a great big smile. She hopped away from the window and crossed the room to give her mom a gigantic hug. Her mom smiled too as Lisa hugged her, and her mom laughed and said, “Okay, I guess you like that idea. Get your bathing suit on, and we’ll go!”
Today’s Meditation: Picture floating in the safe and comforting waters of a tranquil pool.
