A Bedtime Cadence

I leaned against a stack of thick paper coasters to catch my breath after a bustling evening! Right there on the polished wood sat an empty ceramic mug with a small brass stirring spoon resting inside. I tapped the edge of the spoon with my gloved fingertip, and it gave the sweetest little chime. Next thing I knew, I was gently rocking the handle to keep a soft, steady rhythm going to wind down the night. It felt just like conducting a cozy lullaby for the whole room before resting my feet!
