| | Hello, and thanks for visiting my profile! I have been told (very recently on a date in fact) that I am an attractive woman who should change her profile to reflect the fact and that I should put a picture up because I would get a lot more replies. I choose NOT to put a picture here NOT because I ashamed of how I look, but simply because I prefer to see who contacts me just for me and go from there. If that is a problem for anyone (sorry if I sound mean here) then so be it...I can live without you no problem. I am easy going, warm, kind, spontaneous, giving and value honesty in a relationship above all else. At the present time I am one of those middle aged over weight woman who it seems one day woke up and I looked in the mirror and said...who the hecks hips are those, when did they arrive and will they PLEASE TAKE THEM BACK ASAP:) I got injured teaching exercise classes as a second job.It was a pretty bad leg injury which made it impossible to get just about any work outs in for over two years now:( I am just now able to begin SLOWLY walking three times a week working up to hopefully running in the end:)(This is the key to remember slowly which is not always easy when you have always been a person in the past that loves to go go go!!I have no doubt I will get back in shape eventually because I have always been and still am(even at my present weight) very active and energetic. I will continue to take just one day at a time, eating right (well trying to most of the time anyway) working my way up to healthy:) I am a self-sufficient human being who can and always have taken care of myself, and I am NOT looking for someone to support me. I am brutally honest to a fault and expect the same from someone in return even if it may hurt at times. I have been told that I am an attractive, reliable, dependable great friend who can be counted on to be there when it counts, during not only the good times but the bad as well. I am hoping to find someone that shares at least some of the same interests, has a few of their own that they are willing to share with me and eventually share the rest of our lives together. However, I am open to meeting new and interesting people, trying new and exciting adventures together (skydiving is a must do before I die)!If this sounds like you drop me a line. When I first meet someone the feature that captures my attention is a person's eyes and their smile. I believe you can tell so much about a person just by looking into their eyes, as well as from their smile. I love a good smile, honest eyes and to laugh out loud at least once every single day. I have been told by many that I have a true happy face smile:)I prefer to see the glass half full rather than half empty always. This is a trait I prefer to see in all the people I have around me as well, for it is far to easy to fall back into that glass half empty mode if you surround yourself with the wrong type of people. I do not so much care about the outside packaging of a person, for I truly believe it is what is on the inside that matters more than anything else. I am not and have never been a superficial person and even though I like nice things in life, I have found over the years that I can get by on the bare necessities if need be. Something I haven't done yet that I would like to do is visit and possibly live/retire in Hawaii. I have always been fascinated with the islands, beaches, weather, people and culture, but have not yet had the opportunity to visit. In the mean time I will just continue to dream of the beautiful sunsets, ocean ahhhh.... I love boating whether it is sailing lazily along or full speed ahead, the ocean, walking on the beach holding hands,(especially in the moonlight), actually just about anything that has to do with the beach/ocean or water at all. I can be just as comfortable at a black tie affair as I am in a pair of jeans, tee shirt and sneakers. I love riding on the back, and occasionally even the drivers seat of a bike (hogs are great) with my hair blowing in the breeze and the sun beating down on your bare shoulders is heaven to me.The things I am most grateful for in my life are my family, friends, my continued good health and my two precious pooches.I have found as I get older that the things that truly matter in my life are these: Family who you would die for and who are never too far away. Friends-true friends are hard to find, but once you do find them you should NEVER let them get away, always be there for them through thick and thin and NEVER EVER TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED. Pets-Once you have grown older, have the time and resources to take care of them as they deserve you will NEVER be alone again:) I love animals and have seen first hand how they love you back unconditionally, and for that I will always be grateful.: applause: I hope to talk with you soon so drop me a line and we can see where it leads together. Until then I remain your hopeful new friend...Kathy
