    Hi Angie, Mira, Jaquaia and OldMike, thanks for your welcome, too.

    What kind of books do you like reading?
    I have no favorite genre or the one favorite author; I like for example Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Jane Austen and Margaret Atwood. Some weeks I only read historical novels with a strong female protagonist, sometimes I read only murder mysteries. And sometimes I need something for my heart like the "Seven Sisters"-Series by Lucinda Riley or Kate Morton´s novels.

    I used to be in a booklover online community, but it´s better not to visit such websites with approximately 150 unread books at home. So slowely but surely I´m reading this 150 and I hope that I can visit websites about books, libraries and book stores again in three years.

    When I am in a very sad mood, I´m not even able to read and it´s always a good sign, when I am able to read again.

    So where are you at right now? Are you reading?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Glad that you are reading again lovely and you've got through the last six weeks.
    Do you have a good support network around you?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I know exactly what you are talking about!

    I have a good psychiatrist who prescribes me my medicine. A few months ago I started a cognitive behavioural therapy. Our conversations are helpful, but I still have problems to turn plans into action.

    There are my best friend, my husband and my daughter (she unfortunately moved out last September because of her training).

    How often do you see your daughter?
