Outgoing, playful bubbly. I love going to Mexico!Flying high in a hot air balloon. Relax and enjoy my time with that special someone. I love the sun and sand. My desired mate is to find the man of my dreams! Someone who enjoys life and is looking for that special One on One relationship. I do not want someone that has to have a drink in their hand 24/7. Who can handle romance no matter where it might be! Under the stars in a hottub filled with lots and lots of bubbles. Or in front of a cozy fire all cuddled up!! Likes to walk the beach holding hands and being barefoot feeling the sand between our toes. . The special someone has to be himself and know who he is. Someone that can walk beside me and can handle the fact that, I have opinions too. I enjoy listening to Van Morrison, Sting, Teddy Pendergrass, Sade, Stevie Ray Vaugh and Mario Frangoulis " Follow your Heart" I can handle any type of music. I enjoy doing special things for that special person in my life. I believe in keeping the fire BLAZING. If there is problem, it takes both people to sit down and resolve the issue. My friends would describe me as a very loyal, honest, caring, very open, lots of spunk, free spirited, and loving person! I'm not looking for BS or games

A man was exploring caves by the seashore. In one of the caves he found a canvas bag with a bunch of hardened clay balls. It was like someone had rolled clay balls and left them out in the sun to bake. They didn't look like much, but they intrigued the man, so he took the bag out of the cave with him. As he strolled along the beach, he would throw the clay balls one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could.

He thought little about it, until he dropped one of the clay balls and it cracked open on a rock. Inside was a beautiful, precious stone! Excited, the man started breaking open the remaining clay balls. Each contained a similar treasure. He found thousands of dollars worth of jewels in the 20 or so clay balls he had left. Then it struck him. He had been on the beach a long time. He had thrown maybe 50 or 60 of the clay balls with their hidden treasure into the ocean waves. Instead of thousands of dollars in treasure, he could have taken home tens of thousands, but he had just thrown it away!

It's like that with people. We look at someone, maybe even ourselves, and we see the external clay vessel. It doesn't look like much from the outside. It isn't always beautiful or sparkling, so we discount it. We see that person as less important than someone more beautiful or stylish or well known or wealthy but we have not taken the time to find the treasure hidden inside that person.

There is a treasure in each and every one of us. If we take the time to get to know that person, and if we ask God to show us that person the way He sees them, then the clay begins to peel away and the brilliant gem begins to shine forth. May we not come to the end of our lives and find out that we have thrown away a fortune in friendships because the gems were hidden in bits of clay. I am so blessed by the gems of friendship I have with each of you. Thank you for looking beyond my clay vessel.

Remember:
