\\nFuture Fun Excerpt:
\\nSunlight spilled into the room filling Chance the cardboard box with light and warming the belly of the little kitty napping inside. The kitty sat up and listened intently. Chance wondered what the kitty had found so fascinating. Then the kitty gracefully leapt out of the box and scampered down the hall.
\\n
\\nChance smiled. The kitty always knew when it was time for another adventure.
\\n
\\nAs if on cue, he heard the girl ask, \\u201cWhere should we go today? It\\u2019s your turn to choose.\\u201d
\\n
\\nThe boy smiled mischievously, \\u201cWhat do you think about going to the future this time?\\u201d
\\n
\\nHis sister asked, \\u201cCan we do that?\\u201d
\\nToday\\u2019s Meditation: Rest among the twinkling stars with today\'s meditation.
