Being thankful in the holiday season

I know, all this spiritual yada yada doesn't have much to do with me. Not that I'm not spiritual, it's just that I don't usually express it in such cheesy ways.
I've always liked this song from Alanis Morrissete - Thank U. It has some really interesting lyrics, although that video didn't do it much justice. What on earth was she thinking?! :P

"How about getting of these antibiotics?
How about stopping eating when I'm full up?
How about them transparent dangling carrots?
How about that ever elusive kudo?

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you, thank you silence

How about me not blaming you for everything?
How about me enjoying the moment for once?
How about how good it feels to finally forgive you?
How about grieving it all one at a time?

The moment I let go of it
Was the moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down

How about no longer being masochistic?
How about remembering your divinity?
How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out?
How about not equating death with stopping?

Thank you nothingness...thank you clarity thank you, thank you silence"

Poor canadians, they're always so teased. I'm sure they're okay, at least they're not everywhere killing people and each other...
Chloe, I'm sure my Mum will take care of the House sooner or later, but she's been a little busy.
