Health of Bonsai

First, I just have to say what a valuable resource this site is. I'm really grateful for it and can't believe how the hours slip away while reading! Thank you all for the contributions that make this site full of great information.

Now, after exclaiming to my family about how great I think bonsais are I wound up with what I believe is a Juniper for Christmas and just found out my mistake of not leaving it outside even during winter. Tell me you've never heard this story before. So I'm doing my best now to keep it healthy but I think it looks pretty pale and I'm worried it might be on its way out. I keep it outside where I give it direct sunlight, water when it's less than damp, mist it everyday, and pinch off the new growths. By looking at it, does anyone have recommendations of anything else I should be doing? I was going to fertilize it with Fish Emulsion but I'm worried it might be too weak to handle it. Thank you all for your guidance!
