I like to do many various things along with gardening, crafting, brisk walks, following ice skating on TV.
I want to be of any help whenever possible, encourage others who may need or want it; I make the best of every situation, see the positive side of everything. Since I'm retired, I have no "career" goals (finished with that), learn all I can about good health and nutrients; however, I do not take a million vitamins a day.
I'm not a "whiner and crier"--I do not "rain on other people's parades" unloading problems onto them; I'm very positive and look for a solution for everything that needs one; I'm a good and loyal friend, have a good sense of humor, very creative, I'm very considerate and care about everyone's feelings. I enjoy mostly every kind of music except for Hillbilly when lyrics are "poor me, poor me, boo-hoo-hoo."

First meeting??? Simple....meet for coffee or tea, not in a 5-star restaurant in case there's no interest on either person's part/just talk about whatever comes up; conversation may be where we lived before AZ, if family is nearby, etc., but NOTHING "heavy" on first meeting.
