Thanks for your replies. I would like to mention our latest project.

My son and my husband are helping me set up a meditation garden. We have a large area of yard on the side of our house that has nothing but grass right now, and it is perfect because it is secluded. I went through some gardening books that have tips on meditation gardens that mix elements of color and aroma therapy along with feng shui. I wrote out a list of what I would like in it, and since my son wants to become a garden design landscaper, this is great practice for him. He is going to draw out a few designs for me to look at and then we will tweek them together.

It will take a while, and it will always be a piece "in work", but I can't wait until the point that it just feels right for prayer and meditation during nice weather.
