What was your favorite recent gift?

A beautiful home in Hill, NH where I'm housesitting for the summer. Gardens, fields, forests, a cat, a fun challenging job, and time to explore life, read, and ponder nature, culture and the kosmos. What does it mean to be a 23 year old male in the USA  in 2007? The gift is an enviornment to ask these questions, to retreat, and to give thanks.
