About Me
What I like most about myself is that I'm authentic, and that I'm balanced. I am smart without being a know-it-all, I'm sarcastic without being mean or b*tchy, I'm passionate without being slutty, I'm strong without being hard, and I'm affectionate and loving without being clingy.I am a positive person who forgives easily, doesn't get bent over small stuff, never needs to be right at the expense of someone else's dignity, and who likes to move from one happy thing to the next happy thing. I am strong willed, irreverent, opinionated, fiery, passionate, kind, sweet,capable, forgetful, happy, fun, courteous, thoughtful, loyal to the core, blunt, outspoken, nurturing, affectionate and loving. What I’m doing with my life?I'm smelling the roses... soaking up the joy of my grandsons' belly laughs, rediscovering the world through the eyes of a curious toddler and pre-schooler, I've gotten my priorities in order and I don't miss any of the things I used to think mattered.I have the wisdom to know what happiness really is. Once, I looked for a bow wrapped package, but I've learned that happiness is made up of fleeting moments that can be easily missed... a certain smile, the unexpected smell of honeysuckle on a path in the woods, grass under bare toes, that new baby smell on an infants neck... I'm spending every moment I can relishing those little moments. I think that expectation is the greatest enemy of happiness, and I take one day at a time, living in the present moment rather than in the past or the future.You need to know that I'm a larger woman... queen size, ruebenesque, thick, curvy,chubby, pick your own euphemism. I don't say this to be self deprecating or apologetic.. I"m just being honest. I put on quite a bit of weight with a back injury, and I just got fixed up and back into old healthy habits. the extra weight is half off and I'm going strong (no couch potato here) ...I feel sexy as hell, I accept myself as is, and I demand that anyone who wants to share time with me feels the same way. I am fortunate enough to have good proportions despite the weight, , but I am fifty pounds overweight.Want a hiking, yoga, or gym partner? that would be a big plus....my gym membership allows me to bring a guest ! :) I'm not dieting, I'm resuming the active lifestyle I had before my accident and eating clean, and I plan to resume healthy living permanently....so if you are into drugs, or think of lying on the couch or drinking beer as activities, you probably aren't for me.What am I looking for? Ideally , I eventually want to meet that person who is my partner in life for the rest of my years. I'm ready to settle down and have a life with someone I love, albeit taking our time to arrive there to make sure it's the real deal. I am not interested in men who are dating for the sake of dating.... cool for you, but I'm ready for something more substantial at this point in my life. I am also not interested in dating long distance.I do need a basic physical attraction, but within that, kindness, awareness, intelligence and the ability to love deeply are more important to me than the size of your waistband, how much hair you have, or what you drive. I am impressed by what you are, not what you own.I truly do not care where we go or what we do, as long as it's public enough that I feel secure (I can't trust you 100percent until I've looked into your eyes), it's quiet enough to have real conversation, and we can both be comfortable.A walk by the river at sycamore shoals, or coffee at barnes and noble would do quite nicely :)
