Reborn!

I want to think that this blog will be my new beginning, a new chapter in my life. I had a blog before but I have to leave it. And with this new start I got myself a new name, which I hope is appropriate...Althea.

From the Greek name Αλθαια (Althaia), perhaps related to Greek αλθος (althos) "healing". In Greek myth she was the mother of Meleager. Soon after her son was born she was told that he would die as soon as a piece of wood that was burning on her fire was fully consumed. She immediately extinguished the piece of wood and sealed it in a chest, but in a fit of rage many years later she took it out and set it alight, thereby killing her son.

I do wish that this new journey will turn out for the better.
