Hi Sane Forumites
Just wanted to start a thread where people can share quotes, poems or parts of literature that can help them get through the tough times.
Feel free to tag anyone.
My contribution today is from Oscar Wilde:
"What seems to us as bitter trial are often blessings in disguise"

I've been listening to 'Rising Appalachia' on youtube lately. Very uplifting music for me.
@MDT nice idea for a thread thanks.

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey and yellow, white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
It is all but a dream within a dream
This music will transport you there:-
