Some days are diamonds, some days are stones…

Some Days Are Diamonds
~ John Denver ~

When You asked how I've been here without you
I'd like to say I've been fine and I do.
But we both know the truth is hard to come by
And if I told the truth, that's not quite true

Some days are diamonds some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds some days are stones.

Now the face that I see in my mirror
More and more is a stranger to me
More and more I can see there's a danger
In becoming what I never thought I'd be.

Some days are diamonds some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds some days are stones.

Some days are diamonds some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds some days are stones.

And isn’t it the truth!  Yesterday was a diamond day for me.  I received a phone call from my old friends Anne and Bill .  They were my neighbors down the street back home.  Bill was Jim’s best friend.  Oh my, they could sit on the back porch and have all of the problems of the world worked out in an hour or so.  I would just smile and carry them a glass of iced tea or a cup of coffee.  Anyway, to get back  to what made my day a diamond, Bill called and the first thing he said was “I am in remission.”  I have mentioned before that Bill has stage 4 cancer which began with cancer in a kidney several years ago.  All I could say when he told me this was “Thank you God.”  I know what remission means.  Jim had one 6 month period of remission and those were happy times for us.  What I am saying, is just be thankful for the diamond days and throw the stones away.

I woke up to 9 degrees this morning, that was above zero today.  We had some more snow last night and my car is covered again.  I need things from the grocery store today so I will have to go out and get that cleaned off again. 

I hope you all have a good weekend filled with ‘diamond’ days.
