You know what... my wife is moving out THIS weekend. She needs to take a break for a while. And that's without mentioning a few other problems I have.

Anyway, last weekend, my sister told me that she would have to pay 25$ per hour for guitar courses for her girl because after 4 years of learning violin at school, music is not offered anymore in her new school. My sister joked about hiring me to teach her girl guitar, but I didn't answer positively.

The day after, I took a guitar with me and showed my niece a few basic chords on the guitar and some theory. I also left her my guitar so she can practice. But back home, I pushed myself and decided it would be crazy to have her pay for something I can give free. So I called my sister to tell her the good news.

Later, my niece called me, and with a lot of emotion, thanked me and said that she really loved me, a lot. I realized it was worth many pills to have someone call and say that she loves you. I don't remember the last time it happened...

Well, since then, I started practicing more than ever. Before that, I didn't feel like practicing at all. That's the kind of magic needed in those moments.

Oh, and I have a cat who loves me a lot too. She's my girl....



This could keep me busy for a while.
