About Me

here I am again... Reluctant Participant..Can't go any further until I add something here. There's always a catch...I supposed you could call me a reluctant participant. I don't know anyone who is comfortable having to come up with a 'personality resume'. I'm just checking things out***updateI know at this age I am supposed to know who I am, and what I want out of life. Well, surprise ... I know who I was and that I was good at it - House is still standing, I have 2 amazing successful daughters, a son who is still working out his kinks, all grown and moved into their own lives. Now its time to discover who the empty nester me is. I am a social person, spent many years as an advocate for the Learning Disabled and special education, am somewhat active in my community politically - have no tolerance for the BS so it limits my involvement. I work in the town I live in which is a blessing in itself I love learning new things about myself - being exposed to what is outside my box - discovering me.. I have been sailing the past few years, love it!! Love being on the back of a Harley, its the sound not the vibration...Wish I was more creative - can't draw a stick figure but I love and appreciate great art - from homegrown to museums, theater, music... I love being in NYC or PHILLY or DC - just loathe getting there lol so it seems when I'm 'doing' its about the journey, when I'm appreciating its about the destination.I love to dance - usually around the house as going to bars/clubs got old - or was it me that got old?? That crowd gets younger and younger every time I venture out lolA lot of the profiles I've read have comments about 'normal women' or lack there of. Makes me wonder what normal is? I am independent, don't want or need anyone to 'take care of me' - that seems to intimidate many so if you're looking to rescue someone I'm not your girl. If you're looking for someone to grow with and discover what is behind that door change has opened give me a shout.now the required: Discovery, History, Animal Planet...)Red Sox over Yankees - Patriots over Giants - grew up in CT!

    Woman. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Pisces.

    Looking for: man. In age: 50-60

    I love thunderstorms and the wind howling and the desert and deep woods. I like to watch sports with a man who knows a lot about them and likes even better, to play them. I love to dance and pray and get my hands in the dirt. I love action movies, old westerns, Shakespeare and slap-stick comedies. I love to see what is just around the bend and be in my jammies by 8. I am cheerful at 5am sans caffeine. I love the sound of a motorcycle reving up under an overpass just because and the deep voice of a man whispering in my ear for the same reason. I prize humility, courage, loyalty, perseverance in a man as I do in myself. I love a man with arms like an anvil and fists like a sledgehammer. And the wisdom to know when to use them and when to count to ten.My father and my son are the two men I have loved and respected most and when I was encouraged by a trusted friend to list 20 attributes I was looking for in someone, I found as I compiled it, that it was a composite of them. Here it is: 1. Between 6'1" and 6'5" in height. 2. Dark blonde hair. 3. Green eyes. 4. Athletically built and a life-long devotee of physical training. 5. Intelligent AND wise (they are not the same!). 6. Well-spoken and well-read. 7. In possession of a quick wit and enjoying poking fun at himself the most. 8. Gifted musically - able to play at least two ***, one of them being either the piano, the guitar, or the bagpipes. 9. Hard-working, personally frugal, but generous to those less fortunate.10.11. A Boy Scout.12. Clean in body - abstaining from all tobacco and recreational drug use. A rare intake of alcohol. 13. A warrior - skilled in a variety of weapons.14. A supporter of Israel.15. Devoted to his mother and courteous towards the female members of the family.16. Gentle and kind to animals and children.17. A man among men -18. Reverent - a fervent love for God encompassing body, mind, and spirit. 19. Faithful - able to withstand temptation, honoring his own integrity.20. Love me in word and deed. I took this list to my father, along with the profiles of the 30 men I thought most commendable. Though he was undergoing radiation and enduring much pain, his ***'s mind was as sharp as ever. He narrowed it down to just three.As I helped my father from his wheelchair to his bed, this man leaped up and lifted him effortlessly, but in doing so, his bounded hair became undone and cascaded over my father's face. And the man who was so "old school", who got his hair trimmed every two weeks, reached up and combed his fingers through the long tendrils and said, "It is so beautiful, Tom. Don't ever cut it." Then my father motioned for me to put a CD on, one of his favorites - "Wild Horses". When it was finished, he took Tom's hand and with tears streaming, softly said, "I have played this for her. Now, you will play it."Two weeks later my father died and joined my son. I was alone now in the world and the man with the beautiful hair had compassion on me and took me under his wing. He is in possession of many, perhaps most of these qualities. Odysseus was not the first, nor the last man to have his ship turned about... ; )But I will say this - every now and then, as I do the dishes, he gets out his guitar and plays "Wild Horses".And most of the time, "Nothing Else Matters..." It's message is one I keep remembering as I wait on Odysseus, the one who would be Anam Cara...to me.KINDNESSBefore you know what kindness really isyou must lose things, feel the future dissolve in a momentlike salt in a weakened broth.What you held in your hand,what you counted and carefully saved,all this must go so you knowhow desolate the landscape can bebetween the regions of kindness.Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness,you must travel where the Indian in a white poncholies dead by the side of the road.You must see how this could be you, how he too was someonewho journeyed through the night with plansand the simple breath that kept him alive.Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.You must wake up with sorrow.You must speak to it till your voicecatches the thread of all sorrowsand you see the size of the cloth.Then it is only kindness that makes any sense anymore, only kindness that ties your shoesand sends you out into the day to mail letters and purchase bread,only kindness that raises its headfrom the crowd of the world to sayIt is I you have been looking for,and then goes with you everywherelike a shadow or a friend. Well, I do like creativity and adventure... ; )

    Thanks for looking at profile ... are you a Non-.. then lets connect and get to know each other.I am 53 yrs old, but no one would say I look that age, they can't believe I have a 32 yr old daughter and 25 yr old son, plus a grandmother to 2 grand sons.What I like in my guy ... sorry about the taller guy thing ...just like you much taller than me. Zest for life, love water (on it or around it), walking in the park. Fall is one of my favorite time of the year ... love the colors.This would be a PLUS if he is loving, affectionate, trusting, truthful, friendly, caring, passionate, romantic, trustworthy, spiritual, financially secure, adventurous and spontaneous. I know its a lot to ask ... but if you can be some of these ... it would help. Life to already stressful … I need happiness in my life. If you have a smile that can stop me in my track ... would be a real PLUS!!!! I love to laugh, if you can make me laugh on our Meet-n-Greet … that would be a PLUS !!I am very comfortable around strangers and love to meet new people in any kind of setting. What makes me happy are the little things that guys do for their lady and a quiet evening at home is just as great as hitting the town.I have a lot to offer to the gentlemen I have in my life. Starting a new chapter and would love to be able to write you in my life book.I am all about chemistry and what makes me feel safe and engaged in wanting to know more about the guy and also for you. But if I do not feel safe, the spark or chemistry … I am sure it will never happen. If we don't have a match ... thats okay maybe we can we friends, would like to make new friends to go do things with.All in all, I've got a great life, just missing the one thing that would complete my life goal, someone to grow old with and share our later years together.Let me know what you think … if you would like to see if we have some similarities, shared interests or common goals.Plus I am Drug free, non-smoker and social drinker (not into party until you drop) ... I would hope my suitor to be the same.Give us a chance ... lets see if we have a connection. Open to whatever will work at the time we start chatting or texting.
