Diamonds and stones

While talking to my daughter the other day, we discussed some of her many experiences in Europe.  Some were good, some were bad.  I paraphrased the old John Denver song, “Some Days are Diamonds”, and  told her that "life will give you experiences like that.  Some experiences are diamonds and are treated as cherished gems.  Other experiences are just stones and you use those stones to skip across the waters of life and amuse yourself by how mundane they are."
