Compliment Quest Excerpt:
The happy toad hopped along his favorite path, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the vibrant colors of the flowers. The red roses nodded their heads in the breeze. The yellow daisies waved hello in the morning light. Tad stopped in the center of a patch of lavender and inhaled deeply, enjoying the relaxing fragrance of the flowers.
Just as he was about to continue hopping, Tad noticed movement out of the corner of his eye. A familiar toad was making his way toward him. It was his best friend, Tanner! Tanner’s spots were a lovely shade of brown, like autumn leaves. Once Tanner saw that Tad had noticed him, Tanner jumped up and down and said, “Good morning, Tad!”
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
