I imagine I am a lot like you and never expected to find myself single at this age but I'm making the best of each of day and strive to live life to the fullest. Life is good but I'd really like to have someone to share it with.I strive to accept people "as is" not as a project for me to develop....but I am also very supportive of a partner's goals and believe part of loving someone is supporting them in their efforts to do what's best, even if it is not best for you.Like you, I understand want and need and believe I have spent years post divorce reflecting on what I want, need and have.I have some baggage but it's checked in a bag I leave by the door, after all, who really gets through life without any. If you have children, great, so do I and I'd welcome yours with open arms. When I was a child, I dreamed I would become a good woman with open arms and a strong heart. I wanted hands like my mother's and brown eyes. I admired women of a certain age, their beauty from a life well-lived, their faces full of character, their eyes graced with laugh lines. I wished for someone to be in love with me, who wrote messages out on bits of ripped paper, holding them up to me one phrase at a time. ...I miss you / I love you, simple words from the heart.When I was a young woman, I dreamed I would find a good man, with steady hands and a face carved by mountain winds. I dreamed I would bake him bread and he would take me to the country to live... raise cabbages and goats and carry sleepy-eyed children off to bed after an evening of chasing fireflies and we'd live happily ever after. Years passed as they always do. Dreams changed – only a few came true.When I was a middle-aged woman, I dreamed I would be a good woman, soothing the world with a bowl of soup and a hug for those who have no one to hug them back. I dreamed I'd find a man more precious than gold, not on a bicycle on some quiet back road or sitting in the park savoring the cherry blossoms, but in springtime.I often thought I might find him in a coffee shop, perhaps he'd be drinking hot chocolate and I'd see his face reflected in my coffee and we'd talk for hours, hours that turned into days where we would understand, finally, the weight of human hearts and just how fragile they can be. Perhaps we'd find a place to live and lounge all day in jeans and sweatshirts, eating cold plums and listening to music....or drinking German beer while I listen to his tales of where he has been, his hands waving and me leaning far forward, watching his face and the way his history and words roll off his tongue.Perhaps share a bottle of wine on stormy nights listening to the crickets chirping as the evening rolled in or perhaps morning would arrive and we'd share coffee wrapped in old blankets watching the sun come up.And certainly the passing years would have taught us that no matter how bad the day that we would always come together in the night and become whole again.I hold these dreams with clenched fists but love with an open hand and open heart, for I know no other way.I still dream dreams filled with wants and needs but they are more vivid now and I feel the lack in my life so clearly.My life and the rooms in it, are often lit only by candles, I see my silhouette in the window – measuring the passing of time by the changing of seasons, Waiting, waiting,waiting.My hands wear his absence -the absence of a man I have yet to meet.I fall asleep reading Pablo by candlelight and listening to the sounds of a cello.In my dreams my thoughts are restless, there are no uttered words, no known languages, no poetry even. There is no urgency, only the sense that I will wait a lifetime if need be. In my dreams I am learning to process this, learning to let it settle upon my skin like warm breath in the middle of the night.I am a work in progress.I take not one minute for granted, I sleep with the hope I find another day.You can never go wrong with simple pleasures such as a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or an art show. I even like hardware stores and love bookstores.

'Just looking for fun at first then we'll see where it goes. I'm all up for a LTR but all in time. I love music, concerts, hanging out either over a cold one or a good movie and take out, yard sales and simply experiencing activities with that special someone. I'm tired of having one sided conversations with my dogs. Basically, easy to please and would prefer to spend some quality time with that special someone who shares the same interests or is willing to experience their interests through my eyes if given a chance. I'm very open to new things and new people. I've been on this site too long so help me get off of it and let's head to the next chapter in our lives. Are you up to the challenge? Let's chat...I think a good ice breaker is to meet someone in a restaurant/bar where we can talk and just get to know each other. Maybe go for a walk where that conversation can be continued. Whatever makes both parties more comfortable is the way to go.

Like Penny from the Big Bang Theory I often answer the door in my jammies with my hair not done.The days of me dreading going to work are over for me. I love my job. It completes me and challenges me. The days of me eating bacon wrapped in bacon are also over. When ordering from a menu I am learning to listen to the angel on my shoulder I consider camping, dancing, yard work and home renos , auto engine repair, playing cards , dinner parties and watching TV with a black and white dog all favourite day off activites I live and breath music so for years I have been seen backstage helping out teching one of the many festivals Whse puts on each year. I am really comfortable in my own skin. I know alittle about alot of different things. Does that make me a Jack of all trades and a master of none.... sure but I am ok with that too. It just means that I follow a conversation about analog recording engineering to structural engineering. From auto mechanics to kinesiology. My family are all in Onterrible so I hold my friends close. I work closer to 80 hours a week than 40 but become one of my friends and I will make time to see you.Grab a quick bite, and talk about other people we know, and places we have been. You are guarenteed to smile and laugh alot . I have a laugh that is loud and proud, and a knack for witty come backs that even I can't control.
