Generate a free noticing three good things from today story →Three Tiny Lights
At bedtime, three tiny lights appeared near the pillow. Each one glowed when the child remembered something good.
The first lit up for a warm breakfast. The second shone for a funny moment. The third glimmered for someone who helped.
The day had not been perfect, and it did not need to be. The three small lights were enough to make the room feel softer.
They floated up beside the moon, and the child closed sleepy eyes beneath their gentle glow. Goodnight.
