I am a bit 'old fashioned' that way and a bit shy until I get to know you better... Been there done that about most things, enough to not be self righteous but not down and dirty Old enough to know better and wise enough to try better...I am an artist and a bit of an entreprenuer..yet not all work no play.

I like to do cross country travelling,camping out sometimes , sight seeing as I travel,I love the mountains, as well as the coastlines.. [ love a good view.. a picnic atop a hill etc.]...There is nothing that I would withhold from the right man, but I am withholding myself til I meet him!...I have heard most of all the 'lines'....I have felt most of all the temptations...I have resisted the 'best of them' and am waiting this time for the right man to come along... until he does, I am keeping busy with my artwork,my family and occasional volunteer work. When & if I meet the right for me one~ or if he finds me first, then life will be more meaningful...

I am satisfied in life and content alone, but would like to meet Mr.Right-for-me....

I am fairly independent, somewhat self aware, fairly articulate, considered rather intelligent, very artistic, thought to be creative, can be very resourceful, am always dependable, usually compassionate & forgiving, even like the man to be the leader:) if he is the right person, but I can also be a leader in a crisis..

I have been known to be able to rise to almost any occasion, but do prefer the simpler, mellower things in life... taking a breathe and relaxing, not having to meet too many deadlines..enjoying a sunset now and then.

At times, I play the Good Samaritan, but try not to be an enabler for wrong behaviors...

I am not 'religious' in the sense of the word, but will share my faith in Christ, my dreams, show you how I live it and what my goals in life are..

I am flexible and a very supportive person.I try to always put others needs ahead of my own.

I am coming from when I say that I put the example of Jesus life, first in my own life, so I am no longer driven by just the random fleeting momentary pleasures of this world, but would welcome the pleasure and company of the right man....without all the BS drama.

I have learned alot from my past and do not want to repeat any regrets in the future... Life's too short to settle for less than that, as people have to be compatible, attracted to one another and no so desperate as to put up false fronts..

We should have some similar interests, goals, moral concepts, hopes, drives, dreams and basically have "enough in common" to start out with... that when one of us has a dream for example , the other isnt 'put off' by it, rather supports or engages it and joins in... [you know like riding off into the sunset together ]...


I'd rather be 'committed' than be involved with someone who wasn't [both have to have a mutual attraction based on many aspects intellectually and emptionally and not only thge physical side, but chemistry does play a role]....

Life is not only too short, but also too important to waste...We are adults and needn't play heavy head games. We each have a place here on earth and need to fulfill our role and if we are right for each other, that will only make life better for each of us and all the blessings, mercy, honor, love and good things will follow us all the days of our lives...

Those who know me will tell you that I am the real deal and that I am not playing word games here...

I have taken over 7 years since my divorce and went on a new journey of self discovery, as I travelled across the country and back trying out different jobs and locations, meeting great people along the way and now I am at a place in life that I would like to add to a meaningful relationship with a man, as a whole woman, not having to bore you with the trials of the past.

My former husband died in January 2009. We had become best friends again over the last few years as we had been for several years before our marriage.Funny how that goes sometimes~ We always were good friend, just not good married, as we expected too much from one another, I suppose.

I do miss the conversations we had online and by phone. May he rest in peace now.SOOOOOOOOO, it is time to move on a bit more seriously....I'll be honest, I wasnt looking to start over again and contented myself with working online.. Now I guess I have wasted enough time being alone, so I am taking a peek at emails and considering suitors...:)

I can say that I am loving, loyal, affectionate and try not to be overbearing[never was] but was taken great advantage of in my last marriage, so that is something I wouldnt wish to repeat and would speak up about should it seem to be happening again.

If 'you' are out there, drop me a line.. I will be honest, straight forward and caring...

Meeting is the only way to know if that good old 'chemistry' would be there and til then, I am open for friendship, perhaps a cup of coffee and a chat, a movie or a night out,with no strings attached or impulsive expectations, but this is one gal that if you do capture my heart, you may have it for a lifetime! :bye

Hey a luncheon at a salad bar.. or an afternoon in a park... a diner booth and a cup of coffee...a picnic by a lake... anywhere to comfortably meet without having to put on an air of pretense or expense...sharing a sunset along a beach or shoreline, talking over an open fire... discussing our beliefs, world views, families,favorite sports or hobbies, health,friendships, careers, children, pets and whatever... just getting to know you more is a step in the right direction.... maybe playing some cards or shooting a game of pool or going to a lake and doing a little fishing.

No pressure for either of us to have to 'perform' or going by any impulsive behaviors to misguide us.. no dire risks or disappointments....just comfortable 'casual meeting' and sharing our thoughts...I am pretty laid back and well versed in conversation...Whatever happens as a result will determine the next step...:)

I am however tired of being alone and not being able to share a sunset now and then.:)
