I'm a 46 yr old Navy Veteran and Marine Mom. I was married for 23 years and have been divorced almost 4 years now. I've been through the fire surviving Stage III Melanoma cancer, and I've learned alot in the recent years...mainly humility. I've learned that God's in charge, not me. I don't take things in life half as seriously as I used to. Life is too short to be blinded by what is truly important...love. I laugh alot, trying to find humor in everything. I'm a "glass is half full" kinda' gal :) At our age there are many more things to say. I'm sure for you, too. But, that's all better left for us to explore and learn on our own.

If I can't spend a day at the ocean (any place tropical) then my dream date is a day of golfing (you learn more about a person in 18 holes of golf than you do in weeks of dinner dates). Afterwards, perhaps a nice dinner with good food, good wine, and good laughs and conversation. Don't even think about after that. I am very rooted and don't play around.
