Good Morning Journal,                                 Its rather cold this fine morning.  We may have some snow this afternoon.  I will think of my friend Sue as the snow falls and her wonderful comment about the fairy's flying through the air.  I like that!I am snug and warm in the house looking out on a dark sky with only a small streak of sun light shining through the dark clouds.I had a very long night.  My breathing was dificult.  I have learned that distraction is the best medicine at times like this, but only after using all my meds.  Last night I distracted my self with music and a good book, and a small mouse who came to visit to my dogs great amusement.   The mouse got away, but now I have to think about setting a live trap and finding the mouse a new home away from mine, and hope he was a loner!Today I have decided that Water will be my best friend.  I learned from my new friend that Water is most important to good health, so today I will drink at least 62 oz.  and feel most hydrated by this evening.  I tend to not drink enough and forgot just how important it really is!  Thanks Sue:)My daughter is going to move the exercise bike up stairs so I can use it more often through the day.  I like that because I can read, or watch tv while I exercise.  Exercise is most important to good health, and makes me feel good.Fresh Air, today I will spend some time on the deck feeding the squirrels and birds, this is good for me, I get out side and the great reward is that I can be in the living room in my most comfy chair and watch the action on the deck with a bird book near by in case a new visitor comes to visit I can look him up.I do hope all that read this will have a peaceful day and remember to find joy in the smallest things.peace to all,Holly

I\'m sure your little mouse-friend just wants to be warm and cozy, too! You know I think that one of the blessings of this disease (yes, I said blessings!) is that it forces us to stop and smell the roses so to speak. I think it\'s so important to try to find something of beauty in each day. Good for you! I love your attitude! I\'m so glad your daughter is nearby to help you. Have a lovely day! Hugs!

Your so right Sue, that little mouse only wanted a warm place to sleep and something nice to eat, so last night I put out in a safe place a few crumbs of toast, and some bird seed. This morning its all gone, so guess he or she has a full stomach and a warm place to sleep. I wont set those live traps until spring!
Have a good day Sue,
And thanks, the mouse is surely glad you responded! Me too!
have a nice day,
Holly

It was such a joy reading your thoughts you wrote in your journal. It made me feel so relaxed and stress free. You truly are a lovely person because my mother always taught me that beauty comes from within and you truly are a beautiful soul. You and Mousie take care, Kris (Want2bwell)

I really enjoyed reading your journal, I think what really sound so sweet was that you was going to fine the little mouse a new home. You sound so much like me, we do live trap ground hogs that gets in our garden, and take them where they to can fine a new home. You are a wonderful person, your kindness shows in what you write, have a great week end, take care, and stay warm

Your journal was great! Little mousie getting new home. Yes water is important, your body is about 75% water if I remember correctly, so it is a good thing to put in our body. Well if it snows I hope you don\'t get anymore than what you would want. We have tons of the white stuff here, I tried to get rid of it but no one wants it. Have a great day
