How To Be Thankful Essay

I heard the faint high pitched beeping of my alarm clock as I opened my sleep covered eyes. I attempted to roll out from under my covers but immediately retreated as I felt the chilly spring air touch my skin. While I was mustering up the motivation to get out of bed, I glanced at my alarm clock. “11:00 AM” it read in boxy, glowing numbers. Had I really slept in that long?

Thanksgiving is a time for many things: food, family, and, with Black Friday sales starting earlier each year, shopping. It’s also a time for giving thanks, something most people forget about despite the presence of the word “thanks” in the name of the holiday.

I snatched my notebook from my tagged and torn-up backpack. It was half past 10 and to my surprise I was awake. I write most of my songs in the morning.
