Painting the Sky Excerpt:
And finally, there was Hazel, the shiny blue plane. Hazel was the newest of the group. She watched the sky quietly, taking everything in. Today was her very first air show. As she looked out through the hangar doors, Hazel felt a fluttery feeling inside her engine. What if she messed up her performance?
“It’s a beautiful day,” Holly noted. “Perfect for an air show.”
Hazel nodded. “It really is,” she said. “I’m excited… and a little nervous.”
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
