A Diamond in a Rock

Tom Petty once sang:

“Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks”

Petty was mistaken. It is not one or the other.

All days are diamonds. Some days you just need to look harder to see some trace of sparkle.

Today was one of those days.

The kind when you’re forced to watch someone age before his time. The kind when you have to accept just how fragile and finite a life really is.

But, it was also the kind if day when you realize that strength can endure – even when muscles weaken. And sometimes that is all the carats you need in one day.
