Life's not about "what's better than"

Hi everyone! I hope that you all are having a wonderful holiday season! In light of all the chaos that is going on and materialistic nonsence that takes place this time of year, I wanted to reflect on what this holiday is really about. Besides any religeous veiws (as that is a whole different ball game), Christmas time is a chance to show gratitude for all of your many blessings and to spend quality time with your loved ones. Not gifts. Although, I do LOVE to give gifts; it's about being kind, cheerful, and grateful.
I was on my way into work today listening to John Butler Trio, and wanted to share some lyrics with you. The song is called "Better Than" and it helps me sort out what is important and what is not, everytime I hear it.


All you want is
What you can't have
And if ya' just look around, man
You'll see you got magic

So just sit back and relax
Enjoy it while you still have it
Don't look back on life, man
And only see tragedy 'cause

chorus
You can be better than that
Let it get the better of you
What could be better than that?
Life's not about what's better than

You can be better than that
Let it get the better of you
What could be better than that?
Life's not about what's better

All the time while ya' lookin' away
There are things you can do, man
There's things you can say
Undo the, the ones you regret
When you're spending today
Get your gaze out tomorrow
And come what may, because

chorus

Oh, I know, sometimes
Things can get hard
But you should know, by now
They come and they go so fast
Oh, I do, why
Look to the other side 'cause I know
The grass is greener,
But just as hard to grow

So all you want is
What you can't have
And if ya' just look around, man
You'll see you got magic

So just sit back and relax
Enjoy it while you still have it
Don't look back on life, man
And only see tragedy 'cause
