Nothing much happens: bedtime stories to help you sleep

Our stories tonight are called Restoration, and The Lady in the Painting, and they are stories about an inherited treasure, and the tale it has to tell. It’s also about the precious gift of a common moment preserved in paint, the feeling of knowing someone you’ve never met, a clue on a scrap of paper, and the feeling of being so connected to what you’re doing that time passes without notice.

Our story tonight is called Opening Night, and it’s a story about the moments before the curtain rises. It’s also about flowers in the green room, the electric feeling of stepping out from the wings, and an armful of programs waiting to be passed out.

Our story tonight is called Valentine’s at the Inn, Part Three, and it is the finale of the three-week series of the same name, and also the much-awaited sequel to the story called The Secret Stair, released last Halloween. For those of you who actually hear the stories, and don’t get me wrong, your sleeping is what’s most important here, so I never mind if you don’t hear a word, but for those who do, I apologize for making you wait so long to find out what was up that secret stair at the Inn. And then I made it a three-parter, and put it right at the end of the last part. Yup, guilty. I think it wants to be a book.

Anyway, small disclaimer that some things actually happen in this episode, but I’d bet that I’m still going to knock you out if I haven’t already. This story is also about the crosshatched top of peanut butter cookies, the sound of a vacuum cleaner running in the distance, a desk and straight-backed chair by the window, and a plan for something new in the Village of Nothing Much.

Our story tonight is called Crows and Candles, and it is the next in this month’s special Halloween episodes. While it isn’t at all a scary story, it is meant to be a bit of balm for those that are grieving, and if that feels too heavy for tonight, that’s understandable, might I recommend The Leaf House from a week and half ago in your queue. Tonight's story is about a walk on a misty day and a place at the bottom of the hill where the gate squeaks when you push it open. It’s also about rosemary and gifts brought by birds, the magic of speaking the names of those we love, and a choice to make friends wherever you go.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue. Providing a safe and loving environment to domestic donkeys.

Our story tonight is called Tell the Bees, and it is a story that so many of you have asked for. I know that the podcast has seen many of you through difficult times, and often, you’ve asked for a story that might be a balm to a heavy or grieving heart, and this is my first attempt at that.

Tell the Bees is a story about a long walk through the clover on a path toward good listeners.

Our story tonight is called Bells and Whistles, and it’s a story about being in the right place at the right time to hear something special. It’s also about seashells on a shelf, stacks of pumpkins on storefront stoops, and the trips we take to bring each other back home.
