In the Rainforest

United States
January 14, 2021 7:30pm CST
Sometimes when it's time for bed, and to resist those pesky unwanted thoughts, I envision animals on the other side of the world in rainforests, oceans, coral reefs, desserts, savannahs, etc. I imagine monkeys swinging around in trees or dolphins playing bubble games with each other, birds flying, fish swimming, zebras running, penguins waddling, elephants doing their thing. These images absorb my thoughts, and I fall asleep happy. I found a site containing writing prompts for grades 1-12, and decided to apply a first grade prompt for this post. The next first grade prompt on the list is After School Games, somehow I don't believe that topic will be a subject for future discussions.

I am so glad you find something to help you nod off. I listen to rain and thunder mostly ..the videos.

I also like rain sounds, especially to drown out other noises.

@RebeccasFarm Well there are teens and a toddler in our home, so that can be a little loud sometimes. Teens fight and babies cry, but I wouldn't want to live change anything because I love having them around.

Power of the mind? I think it's effective when you replace those negative thoughts with positive ones upon retiring at night because it is said that the sub-conscious will absorb and work for it.
