that I would be good even if I did nothing
that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
that I would be good if I got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds
that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer queen
that I would be grand if I was not all knowing
that I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when I was fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy
that I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be goodwhether with or without you
-Alanis Morrisette
This is what I want. This is what I need.

Alanis used to be Canadian.
Okay..how are you today?????
Did you get my email?
My son has just completed his first week at an adolescent treatment program which hopefully will keep him for 1 year. I glimpsed him last night at a graduation of 2 other kids (we were not supposed to acknowledge each other or make eye contact). He writes to us weekly. I think he's happier there - our home life had gotten really horrible. I think they tell him every single thing he needs to do at any given moment. He needs that. My fingers are crossed. How wonderful it would be if he would be open to the 12-step message they are giving him.
I love that song.
How ARE you?
Peace,
Scout
Alanis isn't Canadian anymore?
