Hi Shirley,
Sorry you’re having a bad day. Because all this is occurring in Church, God’s house, perhaps it’s a test & a lesson. You know you are truly loved by me, Sam and the entire DWW family. So perhaps this is a sign that you can never please everyone. Emojis are in a virtual world and hardly mean anything unless they’re from your loved ones.
Regarding gifts, it’s really a subjective matter as different things have different value for everyone. I would take both these incidents & chalk it up the fact that there will always be critics in every endeavor. But again, we all love you, your poetry & everything you do this site. Stay strong & best wishes to you as always.

The new definition of beauty
is everyone’s who lives
under earth’s lovely Sun.
The green eyed.
The blue eyed.
And the brown eyed one.
Everyone under God’s good Sun.-
Love it, Shirley!!

These days , just the simple act of sitting on the edge of my bed in the morning and breathing deeply, without the impediment of having disease in my lung, is a great pleasure. It will not take for granted.

Thank you for commenting, Shirley. So happy that a simple act is helping you.

Very wise words, Neel, I think I’m a member of one of the best teams of writers and poets on earth and that we are a world class bunch and that we have been given a world class platform by the venerable Samantha LeBoeuf.. It is because of her vision and her partner Preston’s technical expertise, we have this great opportunity to shine and that together we all can succeed. No one could ever do this alone. So the medal should be pinned on the whole company of soldiers.

I agree, Shirley. The platform of Daily Wisdom Words is a fabulous team effort and every person puts in their best!

What’s on my mind today is that I am a little hurt today because someone at church reacted to one of my poetry reading videos with an angry 😡 faced emoji like this one, and then denied sending it when confronted. And the son of another church member just graduated from high school and when I offered to buy a book as a graduation gift about his interests and she simply said that the boy liked video games, something I don’t think is an appropriate gift for a young adult on his way to college. This had just been a really yucky day with the church people. I think I am a big disappointment to them.
