🌿 Theme: Finding a Rhythm When You Feel Fast Inside

The morning felt a little wiggly for Raven.
Her paws were full of energy, but her thoughts felt tangled like yarn.
Bo noticed first.
“Some days feel fast on the inside,” he said gently.
Raven nodded quickly. Her tail swished but didn’t know why.
Willow peeked out from the blanket fort.
“When my thoughts feel scrambly, I do something steady,” she said.
“Like tapping my paw… one-two, one-two.”
Raven watched. Willow tapped softly, keeping a slow, cozy rhythm.
Raven tried it too.
Tap… tap…
Her paws felt the beat.
Her tail slowed a little.
Bo scooted closer and rested beside her.
“Rhythms help our minds breathe,” he said softly.
Raven tapped again, this time matching Willow’s pace.
Her whiskers relaxed.
Her chest loosened.
The swirl inside her body felt calmer—like the wind settling after a breeze.
Bo smiled proudly.
“Sometimes steady things help us feel steady too.”
Raven curled beside her daddy, paws still tapping gently.
She whispered, “My inside feels slower now.”
And that was enough for today. 💛
