Slow Your Roll! Excerpt:
The sun peeked through the cracks in the garage door, making stripes of light fall across Ronald’s big front wheel. The roller yawned a big, sleepy yawn. It always took him a few minutes to wake up all the way, but right now, he already felt excited for what the day held.
Ronald had overheard the construction crew talking yesterday. They were going to start work on a new sidewalk today. But this wouldn’t be just any sidewalk. This one would follow the river, winding along the water’s edge. People would be able to walk there, enjoying the peaceful view as they strolled from place to place. Ronald smiled just picturing it. He couldn’t wait to get started.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine drawing gentle shapes in the soothing sand as you relax before today's story.
