After returning home to the US from Chile, I eventually road tripped it up to Chi town with El Oso to check out the city as a future spot. Our first couple days in the Windy City were typical, overcast, grey, dreary. Then I woke up on the 3rd morning and went out on the roof patio to drink a café and play guitar. The sun was out finally, a gorgeous morning. It was one of those magic musical moments when you pick up an instrument and just start playing something. The result was "Give Praise to God for the Summer."
In life we go through seasons, some good, some bad. During those rough patches, just remember the good times and give thanks to God for them. All we can do is take it day by day.
