| | About Me |
| | I was married……now I am not. It was not all her fault. Probably not something that you hear too many people admit. I am different now. Maybe she is too.
Never had many relationships that I would call long term. Never good at the “dating “ thing.
Believe in love. Slow dancing, haven’t done it for a long, long time and miss it. Rather be outside with the wind in my hair, or scalp, and the sun on my face than inside.
Honor. To me giving your word to someone and keeping it no matter what the cost to you turns out to be. Even if the person who you gave your word to ends up causing you great pain and sorrow. Let the dishonor reflect upon their character and not yours.
I always try to stand up for anyone who is being mistreated and abused even if doing so puts my neck on the line.
Faithful. I have never cheated on anyone that I have ever been with and never will. I know too well the pain and refuse to be the cause of that pain to anyone. I have always known and, even though I may never have said anything because of my feelings for them, it has always hurt.
Loyal. I have only a few close friends who are as close to me as if they were blood. They have never let me down and I will always stand by them.
Respect. I don’t ask for it. I don’t expect it. I try to earn it.
Family. Family is important. They are what you have beside you when you are born and they should be there when you pass on. They are the foundation that our lives are built upon.
Sense of humor. It can be subtle or heavy. It can pass completely over most people’s heads. It can come at the most inappropriate times. About half of the time I don’t know what I am going to say or do until I have done it and sometimes, many times, I surprise or shock myself.
Patience. I am very patient but after so much even I can become frustrated.
Anger. It takes a lot to anger me. A lot of pushing. Even when I am angry I try to cover it. I realize that I may be angry because of how I perceive something not by what was actually intended so I will hold back and think the entire episode over when I am alone and can have a clear head.
Bad points? I am extremely analytical which some people don’t understand and may not like. I almost feel a need to know why and how and figure out a way to make improvements. Some may view my sense of humor as a bad point since it is probably best described as off the wall. I’ll walk away from conflict most times even if I look like a coward for doing so. I can be too trusting and by doing so I tend to get taken advantage of….probably more of a bad point for me. I suppose I could become more cynical and not trust so easily but I think I would rather take the occasional kick in the teeth than to stop believing that everyone has some good in them. I take everyone at their word when I first meet them.
Camping. If your idea of camping is a cabin or cottage or rv, with running water, heat, electric, television……,that’s nice. Perhaps I’ll even try that someday when I am too old and too weak to pull my walker out of the mud when it becomes stuck.
My idea of camping.
If you have never been soaked to the skin. If you have never frozen your butt off, never had to rely on body heat for warmth.
If you have never chased chipmunks from the tent or had to fend them off as they tried to eat from the opposite side of your plate.
If you have never heard a deer snort, or even knew that they could.
If you have never had a skunk stroll through your camp.
If you have never sat in front of a low burning fire and felt a touch, heard a sniff and looked down at your feet to see a raccoon looking back up at you.
If you have never sat out and looked up at a perfectly clear night sky, so many stars, so bright, so close yet so far.
If you have never heard an owl calling and another answering.
If you have never heard a coyote yip.
If you’ve never searched for elk.
If you’ve never hoped and prayed to see a bear.
If you’ve never been the only one for miles.
If you’ve never camped where you couldn’t hear a car or truck somewhere off in the distance.
If you’ve never been awakened by the sounds of crows in the morning when the dew is on the grass and the fog is hanging low.
If you’ve never seen a hawk or eagle or heard their cry.
If the idea of a first aid kit containing needle and thread and splint making material scares you.
Then you haven’t been camping.
Hiking. If you enjoy following a nice clear trail, reading the nice signs put up by the park service, an occasional rest area with a bathroom. That’s nice. Perhaps when I get old I’ll give it a shot.
My idea of hiking.
If when you are hiking and you see a sign that says “danger, do not cross” and you know they don’t mean you.
If you have never just struck off through the woods trusting to instinct and maybe a compass.
If you have never gotten lost and felt the adrenaline rush of fear.
If all you’ve seen is the same that everyone else sees.
If you’ve never climbed a rock face or walked a trail that is only wide enough for one foot in front of the other.
If you’ve never walked out on a ledge or point and been so struck by the view that you just had to say something profound and you’ve opened your mouth and all that came out was, “wow!”
If you’ve never seen anything that quite possibly no one else has ever seen.
Found a spot that no ones ever been.
Then you haven’t hiked.
My idea of a road trip.
Go to the gas station. Fill up the tank. Maybe grab some cheese, buns and fruit, something to drink. Pull to the first intersection. Say “which way?” Pick a direction. Drive until you find another road that looks interesting. Usually by interesting I mean the road that looks the least traveled. Plan nothing. Always have gear in the car or truck…….JUST IN CASE. If you see a sign, maybe just hand written on a board about a site or something of interest, check it out. Whatever strikes you just do it. Go in search of what you can find. Get up hours before dawn to run half way across the state in sleet and snow and freezing rain. Rush up the side of a mountain on foot to watch a bunch of semi-inebriated guys in funny hats pull a rodent out of a stump……,all to make someone’s dream come true. ROAD TRIP!!!!
Communication.
Very important. I can’t abide the “you should know what you did”, “I don’t want to talk about it.” That is all bull. If I knew what I did I would apologize. If I did it intending hurt then I am a **stard. Obviously I don’t know what the problem is or I wouldn’t ask. I can’t read minds. If you can tell me how to cook your food, how you like your pillow fluffed, where you’d like to go to eat, how to rub your back or how you like to be kissed and caressed then you can open up about everything. |
| | First Date |
| |
Ideal date.
Though I do clean up very well and haven’t been thrown out of anyplace for years I think my ideal date would not require formal attire. It would be……….
A low burning campfire, foil wrapped potatoes buried in the coals, slight aroma coming from Dutch oven, wooden picnic table elegantly set with paper plates and plastic utensils.
An owl calling in the distance, searching for a mate. Another answers. Something rustling off in the brush. A moonless night, stars so bright you feel as if you could touch them. An occasional falling star. You and I. Side by side. Feet toward the fire. Favorite beverage near at hand. We turn and look at each other. Firelight reflected in our eyes. We say not a word. Lean back. Look at the sky……..and sigh.
First date.
Coffee, a stroll in a park somewhere. Conversation. Best to make it early just in case one or the other of us is not too impressed. That way we have time to get home and call our best friend and say, “oh my lord, you shoulda seen this guy! I was lucky to get away. Remind me to block him from my profile. Heck, remind me to take down MY profile.”
Important items to me.
Commitment.
If you are the type of person who knows what commitment is. Knows what it means. If you can walk right up to commitment. Look it in the eye………then go running and screaming from it. Then things will probably not work out with me. It will only be a matter of time before you start to pick me apart. Find real or imagined flaws and make them so big that it justifies you running away. To be realistic. At this stage in life if you are unable to commit then chances are you have already missed out on the one person in your life who would have been perfect for you. The one person who may have truly loved you. Rough thought but very true.
Your ex.
If I remind you of your ex in some way. Either looks, ideas, mannerisms……… It will probably not work out. Eventually the line will blur and you will attribute things that he did to me. You will think that when I say or do something that he said or did, that I mean the same as he did. I am not he. I am not like him. I guarantee that.
Bottom line.
Growing up all the “old” folks kept saying, “life is short.” Who listened? Now the time ahead is probably much less than the time that is past. Eventually I won’t be able to do the things that I love to do. So I want to do as much of it now as I possibly can. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. I don’t “need” someone in my life. I have been forced to learn that I can go on alone. I don’t actually “want” to. I would like to share with someone. Have someone to talk with. To laugh with. To cry with. To love with.
If any of this intrigues you then drop me a line. Make sure you include a picture of your mirror…….seems to be required.
