Transcript

Are you ready to meditate with Kari?

Make sure that you're laying in your bed,

You're all comfortable and everything is good in the world so that you can relax and let go of your day.

Cherry wasn't very well.

She was laying in bed feeling very sorry for herself.

Heidi and Veya were trying to take care of her.

Cherry was having a little bit of a complaint because that's what you do sometimes when you're not feeling very well.

You start to feel a bit sorry for yourself and that's okay.

It's part of the journey.

Cherry said,

I don't feel well.

I don't feel well at all.

My nose hurts,

My face hurts,

My bones hurt,

Everything hurts.

I'm cold and then I'm hot and then I'm cold and then I'm hot and I just want to cry and I can't taste anything and nothing feels good and I'm so snotty,

It's awful.

I just feel like death.

I've definitely got the soots.

I've got the soots.

Heidi said,

I know,

I know Cherry,

It's okay.

You'll be all right in a few days.

The doctor said you've just got a cold and that's not very nice but hopefully you're going to get better very soon.

Veya said,

Me's made you lots and lots of peppermint tea.

We've made you some orange juice so you can keep up your vitamins and help your immune system.

We've got fresh fruit.

Everything's right here next to your bed.

All you have to do is ask and we'll do it or we'll fetch you something.

Thanks Veya.

Oh thanks guys.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

I'm so sick.

I don't know how I got it.

I mean I do know.

I think I do know.

I was playing right.

I was playing in the park.

Silly me.

I didn't wash my hands afterwards and I'd been playing on the swings.

I'd been playing on the slide.

I'd been playing on the roundabout thinking my jiggy and I didn't wash my hands and I know mum always says wash your hands before you eat anything but I was so hungry because I'd been playing so hard.

And I didn't even think about it and then I just like ate that thing.

What was it now?

That's it.

That trek bar thingy.

I was so hungry and I got my paws all over it and then the chocolate melted on me on me paws and I licked me paws and then I was like uh oh oh no I forgot to wash my hands and then and then and then I started feeling like really paranoid.

Oh no all those germs.

I just ate like the whole park.

Everything I touched I just ate and then who knows who touched that and then who touched them touching that and then who touched that before they touched that and I was like OMG.

I've got so many gosh darn germs in my body now what am I going to do?

And then I was thinking just trust your immune system.

Trust your body.

Know that you're building your immune system right now Cherry and everything is just going to be hunky dory so fine and then I was like oh gosh I've got the suns because I could feel it.

I could feel it growing in my body.

I could feel it like my throat started to get like super crusty and itchy and then I got like really runny nose.

Do you remember?

Heidi said yeah I remember I was there Cherry.

Cherry said oh yeah that's right.

I know what oh before I go into all that again I know what you can do.

Can you sing for me?

Can you sing for me because that makes me feel so much better.

You want us to sing for you.

What song do you need us to sing?

How about we play a song on the radio or something?

Cherry's like no I'm sick.

I don't feel very well and I want real songs like real songs like proper songs like really singing.

Faya said that's fine.

Me thinks that me and Heidi can sing.

I know what we'll sing that song you like.

Which one?

Said Cherry.

The one the sunshine one.

Oh yeah I like that one.

That one's my favourite.

It reminds me of when I was a little and my mum used to sing it all the time when I was a tiny little kitten.

Okay yeah yeah yeah oh wait wait wait I need a drink.

Cherry sat up.

She had a little burp.

She blew her nose and then had a drink of water.

They put fresh lemon juice in a water just to keep up a vitamin C.

Oh that water tastes awful.

Heidi said it's got lemon juice in it.

It's supposed to help you.

Just drink it.

Cherry said okay and she had another drink of her lemon water.

Very dramatically I must say.

And then put the lemon water down.

Okay I'm ready.

She pulled up her blanket and looked at Heidi and Veya waiting for her song.

Veya and Heidi started to sing.

Sunshine you are my sunshine.

Cherry said oh yeah that one I really like this one it's so nice.

You make me happy when skies are grey.

You'll never know dear how much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away.

Oh that was so nice said Cherry.

Can you do it again?

Oh um.

Veya said are you are you sure?

Heidi said I'm gonna go make a cup of tea while Veya sings the song to you.

All right then all right.

Can I have lots of sugar in my tea please because I think that's supposed to help.

I read that somewhere that that's supposed to help.

Heidi said okay.

Veya started to sing again.

Sunshine you are my sunshine.

You make me happy when skies are grey.

You never know dear how much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away.

Oh sorry sorry go on.

Sunshine away.

Oh that was so nice said Cherry.

So nice.

Veya do you mind coming to lay next to me and then maybe I can just like close my eyes for a little bit and you can sing and sing and sing and sing and then maybe I can fall to sleep.

Oh I just don't feel very good.

I feel so sorry for myself.

I just want to be better.

You know you don't really think about how good you feel when you feel good do you?

Because you just feel good and you're like oh I feel so good.

No you're not.

You're like I just feel normal but then when you get sick you're like oh I feel so awful and it makes you really grateful for all the times that you feel so good and then you're like oh I wish I felt good again because then you really do appreciate what you felt like when you felt really good.

It's so funny isn't it Veya.

Oh it takes something horrible to happen before you're actually grateful.

Veya said yes that's very true Cherry.

Most of us are like that.

We don't appreciate what we have every day.

No we don't.

We just don't.

We don't do it do we.

I know what.

Oh sorry.

I know what.

I know what we'll do every morning from now on.

I think we should write down at least one thing or just say out loud to each other one thing that I'm grateful for one thing that you're grateful for and one thing that Heidi's grateful for like make it our daily practice when we wake up first thing in the morning we say morning world I am so grateful for these comfortable pajamas or I would say morning world I am so grateful for this new day morning world I am so grateful that I am feeling on top of the world today.

Yeah something like that.

That's what I would do.

What would you say.

What would you say you were grateful for.

They said I would say morning world I'm so grateful for all of my princess dresses.

Yeah something like that.

That would work nicely.

Oh I've got a headache.

I can barely open my eyes.

I just want to close my eyes.

They are going to close my eyes.

I'm not not ignoring you.

I just need to close my eyes because I just do.

Okay.

Cherry closed her eyes.

They stroked the top of Cherry's head between her ears because she knew that she liked that.

She was sick.

Poor Cherry had the suds.

They stayed with her and kept singing.

You are my sunshine over and over till she fell to sleep.

It took a few days before Cherry got well but she was all back to normal.

One good thing that came out of Cherry not feeling very well was the daily gratitude practice.

They stuck with it.

They did it every day.

They got up first thing in the morning before they even got out of their cat bed.

They opened their eyes and each one of them took turns to say good morning world and then they would choose something that they were grateful for.

It was a very good practice.

It was a practice that maybe we should all do.

We should start tomorrow morning first thing when we wake up we open our eyes and we say good morning world.

Today I am so grateful for dot dot dot whatever it is that you're grateful for and that way you're living with gratitude as being part of your practice and when you're grateful for the things that you're grateful for your world becomes more plentiful because you see everything that you have.

When we're ungrateful and we don't notice anything then we always think we need more but when we're grateful and we see all that we have then the world becomes a better place.

The world becomes richer and fuller and happier because you can feel and appreciate all that you have and that's got to be a good thing right?

The end.

I’m starting a gratitude journal! It’s a really small fluffy book with a fox on it! (And it’s a keychain)
And it’s really important to me because my mum got it for me, knowing I like foxes and fluffy things! I bring it everywhere even if I know I’m not going to lose it, i just feel safe

I loved it 😍 so good you have a great singing voice. I love all your stories. How do you come up wjth more. Also por Cherry, I love the song you are my sun shine because my grandpa loves it and he has cancer.
Your biggest fan,
Arianna

One question whats the suds I have never heard of it

‘You are my sunshine’ is nostalgic. When I was 2-3, my mom would hold me in her lap, and sing it at least twice. I always fell asleep immediately. I could never fall asleep without it. Hearing this same song from the soft voice of Vaya warmed my heart.

My mom used to sing me the sunshine song and vaya has a good singing voice

Cory this was such a good story but I have a few questions
1. What is the suds?
2. Are Heidi cherry and veya real pets?
3. Can your story’s get any better?
( number 3 is a Rhetorical question bc your story’s are already sooooo amazing)
Thanks Frieda

Sadly, I have a cold listening to this sad 😔 😂

From Kate’s daughter Grace

Have you seen the movie wanna yet? It's in the movie theaters right now and it's so so so so sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing. You have to go see it right now if you haven't. Do the Suds normally make people feel as bad as cherry felt?

YOU.
Yes. Well that never happens to me.

YOU
Oh. Maybe it's just a stumic bug.

You might be right.

YOU
Yes. I think I am.

Anyways. One day I was sick. Oh and fun faxt. I'm small enough to fit in a toddlers bed. Even though I'm 9. And I was in the toddlers bed in my parents room. I sleep in it whenever I can't sleep and I go in there room. Anyways. I walk to my room and lay down on my bed with something behind me. I pretty shure I was watching TV. A bit later my mom comes in and I tell her I don't feel good. A few days later I was at the doctor and I had strep throat!!!!! Soon I go t better the End. And then last month ago I got really really sick I had 104.8 fever!!!!!!! And then a while later I went to doctor again. My doctor's name is doctor beavers. She is one of the best. I used to go to a doctor called Jeffersonman or something like that. But we found out about doctor beavers and then we went there instead because it was way better. Now the people that go to that place are finding about doctor beavers and then they stared to go there that it got so. so busy.

That's enough doctor stuff and me being sick storys. I'm not sick right now though.

Thank you Cory! This meditation really helped me and my sister. We both have tummy aches so this was amazing. You make these so relatable! And I know I say this every time I leave a review, but, thank you. Truly. You are amazing 🤩

Can you make a meditation about Girl Scouts?🥺🙏🥺🙏🥺

I kinda feel sorry for Cherry but I’m not feeling it plus if my mum was in here she would be laughing here head of because she doesn’t like Cherry and every night she would say goodnight and later on once she heard Cherry s voice she would come in saying are you really going to listen to Cherry blabber on about her being famous or anything like that but other than that the med was awesome but was that a fake or re you sick again? Never mind about that.

Bye Scarlett xoxo 💋 # love your meds
