IF EVER I MAKE IT TO HEAVEN... The very essence of some religions is achieving this goal, and obedience to divine law on earth and a one-time only divine judgement after death are the rigorous requirements. But your version ignores those issues and instead creates a private paradise of a very earthly garden, lovely woods, lake front, moderate climate. But it's not the transcendent place promised in religion. You have chosen something much less grandiose, but deeply fulfilling nonetheless. And I say: Hurray! I love it! This is paradise with a human scale. It's delightful.
