Thanksgiving Blessings

I am grateful for my home on the hill in the mountains
Where I can see the beauty of this creation far and wide
Sunrises and sunsets, with wildlife all around
Peace and quiet surrounds me in this special place
A roof over my head and warmth from a woodstove
There is so much comfort and so very much to see
I thank God for leading me here, as it took a long while
But, I cannot ask for more in my place to live
And every memory each day it gives.  I am blessed.
