Not giving thanks?

This is a short insert from the very slow thanksgiving blog entries.  I think the reason I'm having a lot of difficulties writing about what I'm thankful for is because I've just been really bitter lately.  It's either the stress from long work hours or lack of sleep or something but I'm so sensitive to any and every negative comment and I have lost all patience with people.  Say something slightly offensive to me and I'd want to backhand smack you.  On top of all that, my bitterness is causing me more stress because I know I shouldn't be like this, but the stress doesn't help me figure it out faster and it's making me more bitter.  Endless cycle!!!  Why have I become like this?  I pray the Lord pull me from this pit soon.  Anyone else who read this blog, I would appreciate if you prayed for me as well.  Thanks in advance.

40 Day Gratitude Challenge - Day 6

Today I'm thankful for:
  1.  Getting most of my marks done for term 1 cut-off.  Tiring work =_=
  2. Jason coming to visit me as a sit in a dark corner inputting my marks.
  3. Having dinner ready as I got home.  Having a home-cooked meal after starving for a couple of hours tastes extra good =)
  4. My Catering Club - JOLLY CORNER CAFE - is under way!  Anyone want some delicious treats come by my school on Dec 14 at 3:30pm and hang out at our cafe.  Who needs bubble tea anyways?
  5. Korean dramas - they're so much more interesting than I thought they'd be.  Brilliant Legacy gave me hours of good entertainment, much sleep deprived because it's so addictive.
  6. Christmas!  Regardless, it's still one of my favourite times of the year because it brings back so many happy memories.  Still waiting for that carriage ride through Central Park and seeing the big Christmas tree in New York to complete my fantasy.
  7. My car being fixed for a decent price.  Really didn't expect to have such a gaping hole in my wallet but praise the Lord for giving me a car and providing me with a job to pay for the many unfortunate incidences.  To be honest, it could have been a lot worse.  Who knows what accident I might have gotten into if I'd made it to the big streets?
  8. My dad for going around and finding an inexpensive autobody shop for me and negotiating prices for me and checking up on my car while it's being fixed (it's near his work place).  Makes me feel less like I'm going to be gypped because I'm a girl who knows not much about cars.
  9. Korres eyeliner deal at Lynnwood!  Originally went down because Jason wanted to pick up a board game but I ended up getting the deal.  One of my fave black pencil eyeliner is by Korres which I picked up at Sephora for $21.  Found a limited time package deal of 10 eyeliners for only $32.50 (USD plus tax).  WOW!
  10. Warm baths - somehow particular enticing this time of year.  So comfy... *gurgle drown* j/k!
