Woman. 55 years old. Zodiac sign: Scorpio.
Looking for: man. In age: 52-62
Okay, so I thought I'd give this online dating one more try. I'm finding it a little difficult to describe myself once again. I live with my 2 dogs in a house near the water and basically I am very content with my life. I enjoy the outdoors and I am passionate about animals. I am ecletic and have a variety of friends from all walks of life. I work in the social service field and my work is important to me. I need a balance between spending time with others socially and time alone in my own space. I am looking for that right person for dating and possibly a relationship. I am open to suggestion. Probably best to keep the first date casual and uncomplicated. Meeting for coffee or a drink. I am always more comfortable outside, so maybe meeting somewhere like a park would be nice. I am impressed by people who come up with simple yet creative ideas.

I love thunderstorms and the wind howling and the desert and deep woods. I like to watch sports with a man who knows a lot about them and likes even better, to play them. I love to dance and pray and get my hands in the dirt. I love action movies, old westerns, Shakespeare and slap-stick comedies. I love to see what is just around the bend and be in my jammies by 8. I am cheerful at 5am sans caffeine. I love the sound of a motorcycle reving up under an overpass just because and the deep voice of a man whispering in my ear for the same reason. I prize humility, courage, loyalty, perseverance in a man as I do in myself. I love a man with arms like an anvil and fists like a sledgehammer. And the wisdom to know when to use them and when to count to ten.My father and my son are the two men I have loved and respected most and when I was encouraged by a trusted friend to list 20 attributes I was looking for in someone, I found as I compiled it, that it was a composite of them. Here it is: 1. Between 6'1" and 6'5" in height. 2. Dark blonde hair. 3. Green eyes. 4. Athletically built and a life-long devotee of physical training. 5. Intelligent AND wise (they are not the same!). 6. Well-spoken and well-read. 7. In possession of a quick wit and enjoying poking fun at himself the most. 8. Gifted musically - able to play at least two ***, one of them being either the piano, the guitar, or the bagpipes. 9. Hard-working, personally frugal, but generous to those less fortunate.10.11. A Boy Scout.12. Clean in body - abstaining from all tobacco and recreational drug use. A rare intake of alcohol. 13. A warrior - skilled in a variety of weapons.14. A supporter of Israel.15. Devoted to his mother and courteous towards the female members of the family.16. Gentle and kind to animals and children.17. A man among men -18. Reverent - a fervent love for God encompassing body, mind, and spirit. 19. Faithful - able to withstand temptation, honoring his own integrity.20. Love me in word and deed. I took this list to my father, along with the profiles of the 30 men I thought most commendable. Though he was undergoing radiation and enduring much pain, his ***'s mind was as sharp as ever. He narrowed it down to just three.As I helped my father from his wheelchair to his bed, this man leaped up and lifted him effortlessly, but in doing so, his bounded hair became undone and cascaded over my father's face. And the man who was so "old school", who got his hair trimmed every two weeks, reached up and combed his fingers through the long tendrils and said, "It is so beautiful, Tom. Don't ever cut it." Then my father motioned for me to put a CD on, one of his favorites - "Wild Horses". When it was finished, he took Tom's hand and with tears streaming, softly said, "I have played this for her. Now, you will play it."Two weeks later my father died and joined my son. I was alone now in the world and the man with the beautiful hair had compassion on me and took me under his wing. He is in possession of many, perhaps most of these qualities. Odysseus was not the first, nor the last man to have his ship turned about... ; )But I will say this - every now and then, as I do the dishes, he gets out his guitar and plays "Wild Horses".And most of the time, "Nothing Else Matters..." It's message is one I keep remembering as I wait on Odysseus, the one who would be Anam Cara...to me.KINDNESSBefore you know what kindness really isyou must lose things, feel the future dissolve in a momentlike salt in a weakened broth.What you held in your hand,what you counted and carefully saved,all this must go so you knowhow desolate the landscape can bebetween the regions of kindness.Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness,you must travel where the Indian in a white poncholies dead by the side of the road.You must see how this could be you, how he too was someonewho journeyed through the night with plansand the simple breath that kept him alive.Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.You must wake up with sorrow.You must speak to it till your voicecatches the thread of all sorrowsand you see the size of the cloth.Then it is only kindness that makes any sense anymore, only kindness that ties your shoesand sends you out into the day to mail letters and purchase bread,only kindness that raises its headfrom the crowd of the world to sayIt is I you have been looking for,and then goes with you everywherelike a shadow or a friend. Well, I do like creativity and adventure... ; )

Fun loving, altruistic, social gal with an independent style ....seeks new friend someone who will allow time for exploring and learning about each other. I hope to share common interest so that we could spend a good portion of time together without smothering. Ultimately creating trust and belief in each other but above all, having FUN.....I don't live for the almighty dollar! Although I have responsibility and obligations, I don't allow those things to drive my life. I would rather be out of debt and work a little, than own a lot and work a lot! But don’t get me wrong.....I have a full time job and probably work more than I play.I have a general philosophy of "the power of positive thinking" with a passion to enjoy life and live in the moment. Just looking for a strong supportive type, who desires a relationship and is truly emotionally willing and available.Searching for an all-around friend and confidant; a guy who loves the outdoors and enjoy's the simple things in life. Gardening, camping, hiking or playing. I would prefer not a hunter type (killer of animals). Although if you are the right one I guess I could overlook that. Being spiritually minded, I enjoy learning & growing every day. I meditate and expand on my beliefs as often as possible. The best match for me is someone that is open-minded about religion and understands the massive programing that has taken place on this planet.I love to cook and my friends would tell you that I am pretty good at whipping up a tasty dish. Love to travel, go canoeing or for a hike in the Mtns. April ***, I joined a dragon boat competition team on the Lake. Love the exercise and what a fun venue to be on the lake twice a week. So, I guess my ideal guy is a nature loving, tree hugging, garden growing, awake kind of guy! Someone that is confident in themselves and understands and respects the accomplishments of a strong lady.Thanks for reading my profile and good luck in your fishing.....Just remember to throw the fish back in, if you dont want to keep them...hahaha a coffee shop, grab a beer at a restaurant and talk... maybe another day we could picnic in the park, or some dining experience allowing each of us to relax, getting to know each other while exchanging great conversation....
