Welcome to bedtime stories for grown-ups, in which nothing much happens. You feel good, and

then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai. I write and read all the stories you hear on nothing much happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Widdersheim.

My book, also called Nothing Much Happens, is available wherever books are sold.

Thank you for your support.

I have a story to tell you,

and this story exists

to give you a calm, happy place to rest your mind.

It's like a nest to settle your fluttering self into.

And here's how it'll work. I'll read our story twice and I'll go a bit slower the second time through.

You just follow along with the sound of my voice and the simple details of the story.

Before you know it, your thinking mind will be rocked to sleep, and you'll be waking up tomorrow, feeling refreshed.

If you wake in the middle of the night, revisit any details you can remember, and you'll fall right back to sleep.

We're creating some habits here and habit building takes a bit of practice. So have some patience if you are new to this.

Our story tonight is called

fog and light and it's a story about a day of simple pleasures meant to clear

out the winter blues.

It's also about a little girl in a red hat, the Latin names for rare flowers, and good advice from an old friend.

Now it's time to close everything up.

Turn off your light.

Snuggle your body down into your favorite sleeping position.
