I am reading three types of books/stories to keep my spirits up during this time of stress:

- Positive stories that focus on relationships and family. Sweet Thing, by Renee Carlino is currently on my to-read list.

- Mysteries, thrillers, and science fiction with heroic characters who fight the forces of evil and win in the end. I just finished reading J D Robb's futuristic Eve Dallas mystery, Golden in Death

- Non-fiction books by authors who write positive self-help books based on scientific evidence-based research, for example, Angela Duckworth's Grit.
