Every day, every moment, every situation we make a choice. We can be Eoar, sad, negative, unmotivated; or we can be Tigger, embracing life and all it has to offer, finding good in not so good situations. Which are you?

A bit about me - I am not perfect. I do not make my bed every day. I am sometimes too independent for my own good. Although I haven't been fined yet for my grass being too long, I won't be surprised if it happens some day (though I keep my front mowed...it's the back yard that sometimes gets neglected!). I may do stupid things at times, but am the first one to laugh at myself afterwards...and share so you can laugh as well. I am not religious but overall lead a good life. I think nothing of stopping to help a stranger in need or to put a stray dog in my car and try to find it's owner. I work for non-profit companies, which means I don't make a lot of money but serve a much needed need. I love my friends dearly and they know it by my actions.

Can't say exactly what I am looking for b/c I don't have a long list of 'must be' and 'must not be'. Of course I have a list; we all do. But I don't think I need more than one hand for each 'must' list.
I'd be interested in hearing from you if:
- you like walks through local parks
- you enjoy outdoor concerts / local bands (there are SO many!)
- your rainy evenings are spent going out to eat, playing darts or pool, going to a movie, or just hanging out at home with the window open a bit enjoying the smell of the rain
- you can appreciate an independent woman who isn't looking to be taken care of, but who is looking for a give-and-take partner
- you can appreciate the simple things in life
- you aren't insecure or possessive

Note: I have put that I don't want children because I do not want to have children personally, but am totally fine accepting my partner's children in to my life. So, don't let the fact that I don't want children keep you away if you have your own; just don't plan on more with me!

Something like a walk through the zoo or at a local park where we can talk and get to know each other but there are also other distractions in case we hate each other. Seriously, meeting for a drink or coffee is also good. Anything that doesn't have a specific time period involved (such as dinner) so that the date can be as long or as short as we want it to be.
