				 The spa sounds wonderful 
 Hi Johanna
 It is so nice to have friends so far away.
 
 What you are doing for your general health by going to the spa sounds so wonderful.
 
 I truly believe if we can keep our spirits high and our bodies strong and happy, it will help our bodies heal better and our immune systems strong.
 The mind is a powerful thing.
 
 It is wonderful that you can do this. That  kind of medicine we could all use.
 
 Have fun at the spa Johanna
 
 Take care.
