394. Something Nice: a relaxing meditation and bedtime story

Tad the toad decides to share something nice with the entire forest on a sunny day. Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Something Nice,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday! Narrator: Male Story Begins: 8:10 Something Nice Excerpt: Tad the toad looked up at the morning sky. Sunshine spilled over the clouds and through the trees, warming the soil. The little toad smiled knowing today would be a wonderful day. As love filled his heart Tad decided to share this feeling with the entire forest. He croaked good morning to the flowers and bounced on his way. The happy toad hopped along his favorite path, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the bright colors of the flowers. Tad stopped in the center of a patch of lavender and took a deep dragon breath, in and out, to enjoy the relaxing fragrance of the flowers.
