Hello Journal,                   My daughter lives with me which is wonderful.  She works during the day and two nights a week she does income taxes.  Tonight is one of those.I have had a very nice day.  The sky was so blue and the air crisp and dry.I had some problem breathing, but once I got on the deck and looked around and saw all the wonders of Nature, the birds flying high and the squirrel's climbing in our Mulberry tree and a young Amish girl coming over the hill on her bike, I realized once more that life is wonderful, and I want to be a part of it too.  So, I got dressed and went for a ride down to the river which is a stone throw from my front door and because my breathing was not so good, I just sat in the car and watched the water birds skimming over the water and again felt blessed.I figure that no matter how I feel, if I just look around I can find many reasons to keep going.I do love life.Breathing is still dificult this evening, but I distract my self with a good book and now by writing in this Journal.Peace to all who read this,Holly

Welcome HollyN, I have been a member of DS for a short time now. I was truly moved when I wondered upon your profile and read your journal. I would like to thank you for bringing me back to earth. so many days I spend feeling pity for myself that I forget about life and what it has to offer. After all, I\'m not gone yet. You have to be some kind of special to have an out look on life like you have. Especially when you have an illness like this. Thank you again and God Bless, Want2bwell
