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!

    Hello I am Italian-American, very easy going, very respectful, compassionate, understanding, caring and giving, always think of others first. I enjoy the simple things in life and always have a positive attitude. Looking for some one who can appreciate me for who I am and what I can offer the right person, always try my best to please others (I know that no one is perfect, but I know there is some one who is perfect for me) I grew up in a very Italian household, so family values are important to me. love to entertain, Christmas is my favorite holiday and the best time of the year. I put my life on hold (my choice) to raise my 2 sons, both graduated college and on their own and now its my turn to start over and find my true soul mate. I consider myself to be "old school with morals" I am a good hearted person with a lot of love to give the right person.hope to meet a gentleman who truly wants a relationship. I am not here to play games and not into head games, but to find a man and share in life's pleasures, someone who is honest, loyal and caring and values family and mutual respect. life is too short to waste time, and tomorrow is promised to no one. in the end its not about where you go or what you are doing together, but just being together.thanks for taking the time to read my profile, hope to hear from you, if not, hope you find the one that is right for you. coffee, lunch, or whatever you like and a great conversation, but when you are with the right person it doesn't really matter where you go or what you do.

    Self confident men that are outgoing and not afraid to take chances are most interesting to me. I love to be impulsive and do things on the spur of the moment to have a lot of fun, just making an ordinary day special by doing unplanned things.
