Thank You, Little World — A Bedtime Gratitude Story

Hello,

Sweet friend.

Welcome to Mindful Mini.

It's time to begin to slow down,

To rest your body,

And to say goodnight to your day.

Take a soft breath in,

And let it out slowly.

Feel how the world is getting quiet,

And how ready you are to rest.

Let's say thank you,

Little by little.

Thank you toes,

For splashing in puddles,

For wiggling under cozy blankets.

Thank you legs,

For carrying me on all my adventures.

Thank you hands,

For building,

For drawing,

For hugging,

And holding.

Thank you heart,

For beating strong,

For feeling so many things,

For helping me love this little world.

Now let's say thank you to the world around us.

Thank you sun,

For your golden hugs,

For making the flowers grow,

And warming my cheeks.

Thank you sky,

For painting new pictures every day.

Thank you breeze,

For dancing through the trees,

And whispering secrets to the leaves.

Thank you moon,

For shining gently,

And keeping the night soft and bright.

Thank you stars,

For twinkling like tiny dreams,

And keeping watch while I sleep.

Thank you family,

For love that feels like home.

Thank you friends,

For giggles,

And games,

And kindness.

Thank you me,

For being brave,

Curious,

And kind.

Now it's time to rest.

The world is quiet.

The stars are listening.

Take in one last big breath,

And a soft sleepy breath out.

Whisper with me,

Thank you little world,

For another beautiful day.

Goodnight little one,

Sleep peacefully,

And we'll see you here again tomorrow.
