About Me

I am honest, thoughtful, intelligent, generous, funny, and sensual in a down-to-earth kind of way. I have a very playful and passionate nature. I love being active - swimming, cycling, kayaking, camping - but those things are so much more fun with a companion. I'm looking for a best friend who will share in the fun of playtime as well as the occasional frustration of being a "grown-up," and who is open to growing into a permanent, mature relationship. I love music. I sing (well, I'm told) and can convince the untrained ear that I play the guitar. I have been singing and playing liturgical music most of my adult life. I listen primarily to classic rock and country but I can enjoy just about any genre at an outdoor venue. A concert under the stars is a little slice of heaven. Someday I hope to kayak out to Bear Island from the mainland. I started cycling again last summer. While I have always loved the outdoors, I have not always been this active. It has come as part of a conscious choice to be true to myself. I recently encountered this quote, which I really love:"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs...[And] if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. " I have very mixed feelings about that. I have been teaching children with special needs for nearly thirty years. Love the job, love the kids, do not love the direction that politics and educational policy have taken in the past decade. Still not quite sure I want to be when (if?!) I grow up - so for now I'm happy to have a few more years to contemplate that. As I approach the end of my career, I find myself seeking out more challenges rather than less. I want to travel. I want to encounter other cultures, places I've never seen before. I want to use the skills that I've developed over the years in new ways. I am not young, gorgeous, or thin. I hope to find an affectionate best friend who will appreciate the sparkle in my eyes more than the wrinkles around them, and the sound of my laughter more than the measure of my thighs. I love music and the outdoors. An outdoor concert (I'll bring the picnic - we can munch and talk before and after!) sounds great, but I'm open to lots of options so long as it's public and we can talk.

    I am a handful. I am strong willed, independent, a bit outspoken and I tell it like it is. I make mistakes, sometimes I am outta control and at times hard to handle, but I love and give with all my heart, if you can't handle me at my worst than you don't deserve me at my best!Actions speak louder than wordsGuys, I have a question!! If you are bigger, a few extra pounds, why do you put on your profile that you want a woman that is 5 foot 6 and weighs ***lbs? Really?I love the beach, anything to do with the water! I do pencil drawings and really enjoy art. I am outspoken and my sense of humor is sarcastic! I listen to county music and old rock and roll! I work hard and really love my job!! I am a people person!! I am outgoing and love to laugh!Never give up, never look down and never look back. Always move forward in life. Don't let anyone ever make you feel as if you don't belong or are unworthy.... ever. Those that do are just to weak to handle such greatness. Be proud of who you are. Always walk with your head held high. You are never alone!Boys laugh at what they put girls through but they won't be laughing when they are wiping the tears off their daughters faces for the same reasons!

    Hmmmm! Where to start? I am honest, loyal and a good friend.. I know what I want and alot of men perceive that as being ugly or direct, I don't mean to be, that is certainly not the intent. I enjoy hanging out with frients and family. Love the beach and most anything outdoors. Most any kind of music and dancing. I can dress up or down, lol Really its all about the person I'm with and the connection we haveDon't do games. Either you do or you don't? Life will go on and it's all good:) Whatever we both decide........

    What is the reality of Internet dating? Trying to find someone you can enjoy spending your time with. Determining if what is in the profiles is there to impress or true reality. Stating your likes and dislikes when maybe you don't even give most of them a thought of what they are. How can we know if we connect enough to meet from some words on a page. A random *** your face that doesn't even do justice to your true image. All of our stories will unfold as we get to know each other so hopefully the journey will be interesting.Just hoping to meet an honest man, willing to be himself and know that this will always be good enough for me.Me: I like my nice job, my happy life and I hope to add some fun. dinner, drinks, talk
