I am a true romantic at heart. Words to best describe me would be Honest, trustworthy, loving and caring, sensual, funny, upscale, giving, passionate, kind, intelligent and articulate who carries a heart filled with love and likes to volunteer her time when available & help those not as fortunate or to do things to help people see the beauty in themselves & the world they live in. My two favorite motto: "Life is 10% what happens and 90% how you respond." "Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life."I also enjoy the outdoors, hanging out and meeting with friends, i love to decorate and read poetry, cooking, exhibitions, sports, horseback riding, going to shopping events... I am also an optimistic arts lover looking and ready for companionship and fun. I love people and animals (dogs especially), quiet times and social times, dinners in and out, long walks, swimming, bike rides, hiking, canoeing, pontooning, nature, movies, theater, traveling, music and art. I Would enjoy meeting someone with similar values and interests. It's so much easier when 2 people are similar - and so much more fun when things are easy. Stability is key as well as honesty and kindness. I really think a down to earth person who is straightforward and has common sense would work the best. I really enjoy people who have integrity and face up to whatever is happening, rather than those who don't. What you see is what you get with me and I need that kind of person to be happy. Trust is such a treasure and once its gone it seems almost impossible to retrieve it. Life is an endlessly fascinating adventure for me and it would be so sensational to meet someone with a similar outlook. There is so much to learn and there seems to be infinite opportunities to continue learning. A sense of humor is a must! My favorite thing to do is laugh! Life is short! Love is all that i want to give to that special man.
