I'm drunk, horny, and lonely

When problems overwhelm us and sadness smother us, where do we find the will and the courage to continue? Well, the answer may come in caring voice of a friend, a chance encounter with a book, or from a personal faith. For Janet, help came from her faith but it also came from a squirrel.

Shorty after her divorse, Janet lost her father, then she lost her job. She had mounting money problems. But Janet not only survived, she work her way out of despondency, and now she says life is good again.

How could this append? She told me that, late one autumn day when she was at her lowest, she watched a squirrel storing up nuts for the winter. One at a time he would take them to the nest. And she thought, if that squirrel can take care of himself with the harsh winter coming on, so can I. Once I broke my problems into small pieces, I was able to carry them, just like those nuts. One at a time.

Take all your problems
And rip 'em apart

Carry them off
In a shopping cart

And another thing
You should've known from the start
The problems in hand
Are lighter than at heart

Be like the squirrel

Fantastic song on what is possibly their best album.
