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"

Hey @MDT
Shakespeare rocks!!!
Hi to you too @Shaz51!
For me, Simon & Garfunkel rule when it comes to modern quotes.
'When you're weary; feelin' small; when tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all. I'm on your side, oh when times get rough, and friends just can't be found, like a bridge over troubled waters, I will lay me down...'
The full song with lyrics is here;

I'm sure it's been uploaded before, but the words just opitomise the support we give each other on Sane...like a bridge over troubled waters I will ease your mind. xoxo

Hi @eth and hi @MDT
We all need those quiet moments when we try and find which way is up at least
I am enjoying a new computer - I have an app on it - 3D images that move around and changes colours and I can ever interact with it on the touch screen
But alas - I did a different app to post my creations - but I can still enjoy them
We all need to create something - it makes our lives feel more worthwhile
