John Denvers’ song “Some days are diamonds, some days are stone, sometimes the hard times won’t leave you alone” came straight to mind when I read the writing prompt for this week—some.
I was young when this song came out, and though it is about a broken relationship, the chorus were words than rang in my head during some long hard days that plague us all at times. Singing them over and over in my head helped plow through those times.
Funny this is, the other day my daughter phoned. Just the way she said “Hi, Mom” told it all. A new momma now trying to figure out her new lifestyle with a new little baby. Just having someone to vent to is a huge help, so I listened. Finally, I found myself saying to her, “Well, honey, some days are diamonds, some days are stone. Sometimes the hard times won’t leave you alone.”
She got through it, she’ll have more, she’ll get through them. By God’s good grace we all will.

John Denver wrote a lot of good music, but this one was special because we can all relate to it. Over the years, I’ve said those lines more than a few times.
I totally agree, Judy. Thank you for stopping by and your thoughts. 🙂

Having a new little one is exhausting, with good days and difficult days. Good plan to listen, and share an encouraging word through song! Songs do help get us through the difficult days! Love your thoughts on “some”!
Thank you kindly, Marilyn, for stopping by and your dear comments. Your VA friend, me. 🙂
