Count your blessings, count them one by one...

Okay. PW is really getting on my nerves. I'm getting cranky and snapping at people. I'm getting tired and annoyed. SO! To counter all this negativity, I've decided to take someone's advice and make a quick list of all the things I'm thankful for, and God knows there are many of them.

I'm thankful I was brought up in a warm and loving Christian home. I'm thankful I know Christ and I can read the Bible without persecution. I'm thankful my parents have jobs. I'm thankful I have food to eat everyday. I'm thankful my parents provide for almost all my material needs. I'm thankful I've been on many holidays overseas (Ahh, this is a nice one, because I always like to think of that beautiful German countryside and the bright sun shining on white snow as I stood far above the world in a corner of the Swiss Alps. I like to think of those great waves washing up on the Pacific coast of America, as the cute little squirrels scamper about the cypress trees in the background. Ahhh....)

I'm thankful for all my friends (I'm not going to name anyone specifically here cos that always causes much controversy and speculation). I'm thankful for my bed in which I will soon sleep. I'm thankful I can go to school. I'm thankful for chocolate, and indeed it IS the food of love because chocolate produces endorphins that give you the feeling of being in love, although I've never felt like that after eating chocolate. I just feel happy and satisfied, but that's enough for me. And to give credit to Shakespeare I'm thankful for music, or the little that I listen to, because anyway it is the food of love too.

Ahh, I feel better now! :)

Now abide these three, faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
