The Australia Day Awards got me thinking. Every nominee deserved the award in their category. Every one of them is committed to helping people through life. They prompted me to think about the 'diamonds' in my life.
They are the people who, intentionally or otherwise, nudge me through each day...or half a day if that's enough. Just knowing they are there is a safety net for me. The wonder of it is these 'diamonds' range over 4 generations and know to call at just the right time.. A fluke? Don't think so.
I should say this is not a cast of thousands. It doesn't need to be. The quality of a person's 'diamonds' is more important than their number. We don't need many, just a few folk who know us really well and love us anyway. If you don't get a better offer from 2-3 of these folk, flick me an email.
