Sorry if that one wasn't so inspirational...but it really has helped me when a "crowd of sorrows" sweeps through my house.

It WAS inspirational ZenLifter. I was just just mucking around with the first one because (just) a little empty box appeared on your first post. Yours probably struck the greatest chord. Thanks.

This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Glad you liked it Ardy 
Here's another short one from Rumi for today.
“Hardship may dishearten at first, but every hardship passes away. All despair is followed by hope; all darkness is followed by sunshine.”

Six impossible things before Breakfast
1. laughter will come back
2. 1 person at a time will help one other
3. Peace will happen one person at a time again
4. The Man in the Mirror will find a better way
5. My Children will be safe as the day goes by
6. Tears will wash the world clean
