Diamonds and 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.

John Denver


I always liked this song but hadn’t thought about it in a long time. I was listening to a You Tube video today and it came up. I just completed my semiannual medical stuff and find the song truer than ever. The diamonds? All of my internal and life sustaining systems work perfectly. The stones? No one told my joints or neurological system this.

Most of us have diamond and stone days at this stage in our lives. The diamond days are those when we wake up with energy and relatively pain free. The stone days? No energy and all sorts of aches and pains. Not much we can do about it except take it easy on our body when we can but somehow the stone days are usually when the demands are the greatest.

We can, however, make the most of the diamond days by living in the moment and enjoying them.

Correct, I will take them all whether they be a diamond or a stone.

Hi Spirit. I've rated my days as "bearable" and "unbearable". Bearable days are diamonds...

Hi Spirit: Love the diamonds, hate the stones, but considering what millions of other people around the world are facing, even giant boulders and jagged rocks don't seem all that bad.

I hope and trust that today will be one of those Diamonds which I occasionally enjoy. The stones can keep away from my door!!

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Definitely. At our stage in life we really realize that every day is a gift no matter what it brings.

On those sort of days it feels like the "stone" is in the seat of our pants.

Hope your today is better. Mine was both diamond and stone. Had to have the dog put down but also get to spend a peaceful evening away from the daily crap with friends.

I'm sure your days when the pain id more bearable are definitely diamonds. Wishing you a pain free one soon.

The song name is the same as the blog title. I hadn't heard it in years and didn't remember the name either until I looked it up.

As the old saying goes "I complained that I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet." It's all relative.

I'll bet you have more diamonds than stones though.

Keep polishing - diamonds are just well cut and polished stones.

Definitely. Can't tell the diamonds from other stones without sunlight.

Yup - nothing we can change about what is. All we can do about it is what we make of it.
