It seems that I have a cold. Though it has become warm these day the weather is very changeable. March 19th was my birthday. I am glad to have survived for two years after I got sick in 2006. Long time indeed. My life has changed drastically since then. I completed the manuscript of my new translation on 19th, which is to be published in a few days if everything goes well. The book I translated is the first part of Menschenkenntnis written by Alfred Adler. I tried very hard to send the manuscript on 19th because I wanted to write at the end of this book that I had finished writing on my 52th birthday. As soon as I sent the manuscript I began to write this time my book which will be entitled Der Mut zum Leben (the courage to live) or something like that. It will still take some time before completion but now that I am happy to write my own book instead of the translation though the days I spend with this Viennese psychiatrist is exciting.
Monika, yes, I have a lot to say. Sometimes I cannot stop writing, which make me tired but rewarding. Writing needs much energy and time.

What an exciting move to take from "just" translation to one's own writing! I wish you good luck for this major step! You will have a lot to say, I know that...
