My heart is on the trail between jagged, snow-capped peaks and rushing waters. Call me a determined optimist. I believe passionately in leaving a better world. I am spirited, smart, inquisitive, happily feminine, fit, passionate, and active. I’;Be joyful despite the facts." Among the identities I’ve worn and enjoyed are journalist, Congressional policy aide, and teacher. Being "mom" has been my most cherished role, and though that work is largely done, the pleasure of independent adult sons remains.For me, one kind of perfect day is a hike during the river roar of snowmelt just as tender lilies shoot up through the last glints of winter. I carry paper scraps and scribble notes for stories and poems. Then they go through the wash forgotten in my pockets but somehow, I remember key words. And pictures are indeed worth a thousand, so I *** clouds above tree line and between ridges. Share with me what brings awe to your life. I seek a co-conspirator for adventures, romance, comedy and laughter, delight, and trying on ideas. We all have tall wish lists. A few on mine: I want you to be smart, passionate, emotionally available, adventurous, kind, interested in personal growth, physically fit, and able to see the humor in life. Ideally, we are both lifelong learners. But not perfect ;-)I'm really looking for a best friend with whom I share playful, intellectual, physical and emotional chemistry. In my thinking, best friends do things together--apart, and sometimes separate things side by side. Though I can and do wear velvet gowns and enjoy a dressy night out--see photos, I'm most comfy in denim. I’m a passionate explorer and am hoping to meet someone with passions and experiences both similar and different than mine. There are many places and things I’ve yet to experience. For example, I'd enjoy learning to snowboard or ski. I am comforted standing next to glaciers that make me feel small. If you lose me on the trail, chances are I’ve found the perfect womb in an ancient tree to nest in.If you have a kayak or canoe, bonus points. If you can reteach me to flyfish or might learn with me, more bonus points. I adore being read to. Semi-sweet chocolate or a hand-picked bouquet will delight me. I love the city, too--plays, music, comedy, fine dining, etc. Yet if I had to choose between mountains and skyscrapers, I'd stop in the city on the way to or from the peaks. I can live in either the wilds or the city, and like to be reasonably close to both. Travel is a must here and there--that's part of the experience v. stuff.Being playful brings balance as I make my living with my head. Of course, all the usual apply. I cry at movies where the dog grows old and dies. You’ll find me enjoying all varieties of film, and I’m not above renting children’s movies that make me laugh. History fascinates me. I can root for the Seahawks win or lose. Good thing, huh?I’m very much a grown-up and still like stuffed animals that squeak. Though I'd love it if you lived next door already, I cannot be flexible on those four "chemistry" qualities, so I'm open to a wee bit of distance, as my work and life have some flexibility.--depends on cards in the next hand.I wish you the best. Let's chat about favorite people and journeys, walk and talk, and be ready for the possibility of magic. At the same time, I'm always open to new friendships--so "no pressure" on a first date is important.

***Update:I first joined this site a few years back while I was separated; I think mainly because I was lonely and wanted new people to talk to. Then my husband and I worked things out and I stopped logging in. Sadly, he passed away about 6 months ago, but at least the sparks in our marriage had come back and we had some special times before I lost him. I've only been back on here for a week or so. Not even sure I should be here, but I know he would want me to have male companionship of some kind. So here I am.The diversity of those on this site fascinates me to no end. There are so many differences in personalities and interests, yet all sharing at least this one thing in common by being on here. People sure are interesting. :-) I hope to make some new friends while here. If I initiate contact with you through the site’s ***, I have read your profile and something you’ve written has caught my attention. I do, on occasion, write to someone that I already know will not be interested in me as a potential match (some of you fellas are more specific than others when describing what you’re looking for), or vice versa. Don’t assume my intentions are anything other than an appreciation of some part of you. Chances are, I honed in on your great sense of humor and thought I’d enjoy chatting with you, want to compliment you on your excellent profile-making skills, or am curious and/or interested to learn more about some content in your profile.Now on to an attempt to describe myself……I hold back opening up to someone until I feel comfortable with them…sometimes that happens quickly, sometimes it takes awhile and sometimes it’s just not gonna happen.I am not outgoing, but I’m not an introvert either. I love meeting and listening to people, yet until someone gets to know me, they usually think I’m shy. I tend to be one of the more quiet ones in a group setting. That’s because I’m trying to hear what everyone else has to say. If you’re looking for “the life of the party” type of gal…I’m not her. More likely, I’m one of her dearest friends though.I love music…just about any kind. Always have. Always will. I can’t imagine a life without it. I have a deep respect and admiration for musicians (and a bit of envy). I will listen to anything at least once.I love animals…especially the furry kind.If I’m with friends…I’m usually having fun, regardless of what we are doing or where we are at. I enjoy both indoor and outdoor events/excursions/whatever else you care to call them. If you’re with the right person ANYTHING can be fun!I love road trips, preferably unhurried. I like taking time to stop and see the little things that aren’t necessarily mentioned in any tour guide and watching people along the way, and hopefully hearing their stories. I’ve never been able to work any world traveling into my budget, but if my sister ever wins the lottery (because I don’t play, and she promised to share if she ever wins big LOL), there are so many places I’d love to see!Some of my turn-offs:LiarsCrueltyMeaniesFakesFreeloadersRacistsClosed MindsCheatersControl FreaksHatersHomophobesInsecurityTo find the key to my heart you will need to be genuine, young at heart, well-mannered, loving, self-sufficient (I won’t be your maid, mommy or bank), honest, kind, have smiling eyes and a sense of humor (if you make me laugh, you’re halfway there).I don’t understand the concept of people “looking for a long-term relationship”. That is not something you find…IT finds you. If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen, whether you want it to or not, AND not on your own personal preplanned timeline, but when it’s the right time for IT. I think some people get so caught up in the ‘looking’ that they forget to cultivate the friendships that could have been growing. One, of which, may have eventually blossomed into the exact thing they were looking for all along, but never end up finding due to their own haste and lack of patience. Look, if you feel the need to, but don’t throw away the friends you meet along the way.May you find joy in your life, Peace of mind, and laughter in your heart. Thanks for stopping by. xoxo I have not had a first date in years. No, make that decades!Open to suggestions. It seems obvious that it should be someplace we'd be able to talk and see if we're connecting at all. I suppose it would also depend on how much we had already talked on the phone or *** and forth. This is too generalized....to many unknowns for a definitive answer.

I\'m honest, trusting, and loyal. If I like something I will tell you. If I don’t like something I will tell you. Not looking for someone to take care of me and or someone else. We all should make it on our own steam.
