We should find opportunities to give cheer to others instead of focussing only on our priorities . Only people of humility can think in that line. Congratulations Gershon on your POTD, dear Gershon. I know it is belated.

I'm glad I saw this as POTD, and well done! Opportunity knocks more than a woodpecker.

Congratulations on your POTD! True humility is the key to an open mind, open heart, and personal growth. I have true humility and I've always been proud! Robert

Not all things are meant for us (thou shalt not covet) time, places, people, things. What are we to do…ask the Lord…you will find your blessing there!

Humility is the exact opposite of haughtiness. Yes, there's always an opportunity to be humble, tender and kind. Congratulations Gershon, on Poem of the Day. Your words are deep, powerful and they hold so much truth. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Now that's a nice take on the old saying!! Glad to know I'm not Leo Durocherer, if you remember that baseball icon, (who said 'Nice guys finish last!')

What's funny, Michael, is that my last two POTD's have come on Saturday. Now that's the Jewish Sabbath. Today, the Sabbath was over at 9:10 p.m. Chicago time... So I didn't even know about this until 10:00 p.m. or so. Murphy's law, I guess. Thank you for all of your support!! :) Gershon

Congrats on POTD, G. You've certainly taken the "opportunity" to show that a good wordsmith doesn't need a big pot to pith in.

R.J., I'm relieved you've let me 'roll down hill.' I've found it very difficult, if not impossible, to roll up hill. ~ Roly-poly
