As we try to sleep today,
We are going to go into a beautiful wonderland.
A land with a beautiful magical tree.
And the tree is called the thankful tree.
But before we go and visit this magical tree,
We are going to let ourselves become comfortable.
As you try to prepare yourself to sleep,
Make sure your bed and your pillows are nice and warm and fluffy.
You can squeeze your pillow nice and tight and make it feel good.
Giving it a warm hug.
Now,
As you lie down,
Gently close your eyes.
And take a deep breath.
Nice and easy.
Fill your belly like a balloon as you take in a deep breath.
And exhale,
Breathe out from your nose.
Nice and easy.
One more time.
Breathe in.
And breathe out.
And relax.
Relax by sinking your body more into your bed and bringing a small smile on your face.
Now,
We are going on a beautiful journey to visit our thankful tree.
You are walking on green grasses.
It is a beautiful day.
It's morning,
Sun is shining bright.
Gentle cool breeze brushing your cheeks.
And through your hairs,
Making you feel all light and so good and happy.
And you are walking on the grass with your little steps in the direction of the magical tree.
As you walk,
You can see so many birds flying high in the sky.
Beautiful colors and dancing and swaying high up in the sky.
They all seem to be very very happy and joyful because it's a beautiful day.
And you are smiling too because you feel happy too.
You keep on walking on the grass a little more.
And you see a beautiful stream of water running beside,
Gently,
A river so calm,
So peaceful.
The water is blue,
Fresh and so pure.
You keep on walking a little more and there you can see a beautiful big giant tree.
Filled with yellow flowers all over and it's shining bright and twinkling like stars.
You are so happy to see the tree at last that you go running towards it.
You are smiling,
You are happy,
You run faster,
As much faster as you can and you reach the tree.
What a beautiful tree it is.
It's so huge,
So big,
So many yellow flowers on it.
It has this cool shade under the tree.
You gently go there and sit under the tree.
You are feeling happy,
You are feeling joy,
You are feeling good.
Now this is a magical tree.
You look closer and you see that these flowers have something written on them.
You pick up one flower and you see a beautiful day written in it.
You pick up another flower and you see love written on it.
Then you see a pen just above the bark,
The trunk of the tree resting in its place.
And you see some yellow flowers beside it on which you are going to write what you are thankful for.
So you pick up the pen and a flower and you write what you are thankful for today.
Did you have a good day at school?
You can write that.
Did you meet your friend today?
Did you eat your favorite food?
Did you play a game?
You can write whatever you want.
Anything that you are thankful for.
You can write about your family,
Your friends,
Your teachers who love you for you.
For how beautiful you are in your heart.
How brave and strong you are.
And after you write it on the flower,
You place it on the branches of the tree.
And you have a good look at the big beautiful tree filled with yellow sparkling flowers.
It's shining so bright,
Swaying with the wind as if it's saying that it is happy that you are thankful for the little but important things in your life.
Now as you say thank you to the magical tree,
You can drift off to a peaceful and a restful sleep for an even more beautiful and a joyful day tomorrow.
Always remember you are beautiful from your heart for who you are.
You are always loved by your family,
By your friends,
By all your loved ones.
You are brave,
You are strong and you are a very good person.
And always remember you can do so much better tomorrow on a brand new day.
Thank you.
