thank you everyone for your replies and such a warm welcome i've lurked on this site before, but finally got around to posting a question. i greatly appreciate the encouragement and friendliness.
i generally meditate in a chair or on a couch cushion on the floor sitting indian style (american way of describing sitting on the floor with legs crossed underneath vs on top as in lotus position).
I am excited to try half lotus position tomorrow.

Namaste.
