Welcome to bedtime stories for everyone in which nothing much happens. You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai.

I write and read everything you hear on nothing much happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheime.

And Bob and I send our thanks to Susan, Joan, James, and Nakea, who are recent subscribers to our premium plus feed.

That kind of direct support helps us so much. And we have another extra long slightly more happens

episode coming to the feed on December 1st featuring the combined stories of Sycamore and the gravestones.

If you'd like to subscribe, we have a link in our show notes,

and remember, if you can't, or you aren't interested in subscribing you

are still supporting us just by listening by sharing what we do with others or by

leaving a review and we are grateful to all of you.

At nothing much happens, we give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to Pups without borders who

work to rescue Pups of all ages.

You'll find a link to them in our show notes as well. Now I have a story to tell you and it is a soft place to

rest your busy mind. Just by listening you'll be training your brain and nervous system for a reliable

and swift shift into sleep. The more you do it, the stronger that response will become.

I'll tell the story twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through.

If you wake again later in the night, turn the story right back on.

You'll be asleep again within moments. Now, it's time. Set things down, close up shop.

Feel how down, close up shop.

Feel how good it is to be in your bed right now.

I know that I am just a stranger on the internet, but I hope you can feel how genuinely I am wishing for your rest and relaxation. Most of us could stand a bit more tenderness in our world and I want to offer you
