I am an optimistic person. I believe if not for the pot holes in the road of life one would not appreciate the smooth surface.

Two quotes I totally believe in are "Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence" ~ Sai Baba; and "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us, what we have done for others and to the world remains and is immortal" ~ Albert Pike.

I relocated to South Carolina from northern Illinois two years ago.

I enjoy all music with the exception of rap, gardening, cooking, dancing, movies and the theatre, as well as staying home for a nice quiet romantic evening.

I do not care for people who play head games, and therefore I tend to tell it like it is. I have been described as honest, dependable, funny, and outgoing by both family and friends.

I am looking for someone who shares some of my interests and in turn will introduce me to theirs.

I prefer someone who can openly communicate (I have tried mind reading but have yet to master it LOLL).

I do not need someone in my life, but would like someone in my life who enjoys being with me and I with them.

When you learn to embrace your self
with a sense of appreciation and affection,
you begin to glimpse the goodness and light
that is in you and gradually you will realize
that you are worthy of respect from yourself.

When you recognize your limits,
but still embrace your life
with affection and graciousness,
the sense of inner dignity begins to grow.
You become freer and less dependent
on the affirmation of outer voices and
less troubled by the negativity of others.

~ John O'Donohue (Eternal Echoes)
