Hmmm... this is the part where I tell you what makes me happy. I wonder if anyone actually takes the time to read these, but for those who do before wasting your time reading about me, unless you're into listening to live music we won't be compatible so please please please pass me up... "When words fail music speaks"..

"Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile."

Happiness is Rock Music - love listening to it and dancing to it - especially if its being played live Happiness is Alternative, the Blues, Southern Rock, Classic Rock and out door concerts.

In music one must think with the heart and feel with the brain.

Happiness is the ocean - an awesome work of God - I go there often to feel His peace and serenity.. I give God the glory for my very existence, all that I've accomplished and all that I possess. I believe He has full control of my life and has touched me through the friends He has placed in my path to stay with me either for the rest of my life or if only for a season. Because of Him, I've found my inner joy.

Happiness is doing crossword puzzles in pen (giggles).. it's my cell phone.. it's my laptop and posting in the Forums, they're entertaining, fun and a good way to get a sense of who I am (hint). Happiness is Sunday pro football.. it's alfresco dining.. it's sushi, Thai, Italian and shellfish.. it's evenings at home and cooking for someone special.. it's walking hand in hand.

Happiness is watching fireworks from the beach with someone special.. it's having an "our song" it's we, us and our...(sighhh).

Music has been my playmate, my lover and my crying towel

Happiness is cuddling during thunderstorms.. it's spontaneity and get away weekends.. it's intelligent conversations... it's playful banter.

Happiness is being a girlie-girl.. it's shopping at Victoria's Secret.. it's all shades of pink.. getting dressed up in minis and high heels.. being comfortable in my jeans and tank tops.. it's spending holidays with loved ones.. it's sleeping in on the weekend.

It's not what you have.. who you are.. where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about...

A widow, I've learned to be independent, not in attitude but in the fact that I can provide for myself. I'm very social, make friends easily and have been blessed with a great sense of humor and quick wit. I put my friends' happiness before my own. I have good judgment and extremely intuitive. I won't argue unless the issue involves life or death. Life is so short.. if compromise is not an option just agree to disagree but oooh! making up can be tons of fun! YUMMY!!

I'm a Jersey girl at heart. I grew up at the Jersey shore but I've lived in the Fort Lauderdale area for the last 24 years. I learned good values and ethicsfrom my close knit, affectionate loving family who are always there for me. It's equally important to me to be there for them. I’m genuinely happy, confident and content with who I am. I believe that happiness is a choice. I don't feel that I need to be completed by anyone but would love to complement someone's life and share the rest of what life has to offer with him..

Who am I dreaming about? Will my dreams come true? Is it written in the stars? Will it be serendipitous? I don't know but I'll love if it happens that way. I'm dreaming about the one who I'll find myself laughing with everyday.. he has a positive proactive attitude and an extroverted playful personality.. he energizes me.

Toy with my spirit and I will play with you.. Seduce my mind and my body is yours.. Capture my heart and I will love you always.. Touch my soul and we are one.

I'll know it's him when I feel butterflies in my tummy and get weak in the knees just thinking about us being together again. I won't settle for less.. it wouldn't be fair to either one of us.. I'll know it's him if he makes my heart smile and get the sudden urge to lick his face I'll know it's him when he calls or text msgs. me during the day just to say "I miss you" or that he found the little love notes I slipped in his pocket or brief case

The guy I dream about is someone who takes pride in the way he dresses and is well groomed. He's a hopeless romantic and not afraid to show it. He knows that romance keeps a relationship going and new. He's a guy who loves tasteful public displays of affection and is eager to want me to be an essential part of his life. He's spontaneous and knows how to keep the romance going. The guy I dream about loves to kiss, cuddle and snuggle.. I am woman . . . hear me purr!! (giggles)

My dream guy is a decision maker, is humble yet self-confident, has a good sense of humor, is easy to talk and be with. He's financially responsible, mentally stable, comfortable with who he is, knows what he wants and is not willing to settle for second place in anything. He is someone who will be comfortable conversing with my friends and family. I believe a guy's worth is judged on how he treats his parents and friends, his integrity and most importantly his love for the Lord.

The entire sum of existence is the magic of being needed by just one person.

I desire, admire and respect a guy who is not afraid to commit to a monogamous relationship. I'll know I'm cherished by his actions and his conversations.

It's a definite plus if he can play music but certainly is not a requirement.

Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything... Plato

I recently read this post in the forums.. it pretty much sums up how I feel about being single:

"When I meet the guy who leaves me uninterested in any other option, I’ll know it and I won’t feel a need to look any further. I’ve had that feeling before and I’ll wait till I have it again. In the mean time, I’m quite happy to enjoy being single and definitely won’t rush to change that. I value being happy above all else."

Our mutual chemistry will encompass us emotionally, intellectually, socially, spiritually and physically.

I raised two beautiful daughters who are now adults.. it's now my turn - so if you have minor children please pass me up.

I'll paraphrase a quote I read: I'd like to meet the guy who will call me beautiful instead of hot, who will call me back if I hang up on him, who will lay with me under the stars and listen to my heart beat or will stay awake just to watch me sleep.. I'd like to meet the guy who won't make me cry but will kiss away my tears when I do.. who will show me off to the world when I'm wearing sweats, who will think I'm pretty without makeup, who will constantly remind me of how much he cares and how lucky we are to have found each other.. I'd like to meet the one who will turn to his friends with pride and say "THAT'S HER" ..

Sound when stretched is music.. Movement when stretched is dance.. Mind when stretched is meditation.. Life when stretched is celebration.

"Oh, we're actually very different, ergo one of a kind. But together we form some kind of strange mass of "wtf" which IS one of a kind."

"Dance with God - he'll let the perfect man cut in.."

The only baggage I have is my 3pc pink Liz Claiborne collection complete w/TSA approved luggage locks.

To Love is Nothing.. To Be Loved is Something.. To Love and Be Loved is Everything.

Do what makes you happy. Be with who makes you smile. Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.

Love is as much of an object as an obsession. Everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it. Those who do, will cherish it, be lost in it and above all, will never... ever forget it.

If nothing ever changed there would be no butterflies.

If it comes in pink I'll take it.

"Most of the fun things in life are illegal, immoral or fattening" so ... "Take life with a pinch of salt, a slice of lime and a shot of tequila" ;-P

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm outta control, and at times, a little hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best...
