“Some days are diamonds, Some days are stone”

Is anyone familiar with this John Denver tune? I’ve been a fan since I first heard him sing, which was in High School, and THAT was a very long time ago... This cheerful green stone is a diamond to me. We found it right at the start of our walk this morning, just sitting there, sparkling in the sunlight, waiting to be seen. Our spirits soared when we spotted it, no doubt left by an anonymous kind-hearted artist. It brought us great cheer and in an instant it magically cleared the coronavirus cloud hanging over our heads. That little stone was a gem and it made a difference. In case you’re wondering, we chose not to pick it up. We left it, to pay it forward to another unsuspecting passerby. Maybe they needed to see it too. I like that it was a stone and diamond kind of day.
