\nDear Helpers Excerpt:
\nIt was a rainy and cold autumn afternoon. But Lydia didn\u2019t mind that she couldn\u2019t play outdoors today. She was perfectly happy to stay inside, because she had her boxes of markers and crayons and colored pencils. She even had a few glitter pens that she had gotten for her last birthday! So she was very content to stay at the kitchen table and create art.
\nLydia had just begun drawing a portrait of her parents when she heard her Dad\u2019s phone ring from the other room. She heard her Dad talking for a minute, and then he came into the kitchen.
\nToday\u2019s Meditation: Happiness and love flow through you in this meditation.
