I'm a lady who enjoys good conversation. Humor, patience and love have gotten me this far in "life's recipe" and I don't plan on changing the ingredients, in the future. I may have to add a little more or stir the pot differently, but the final results, hopefully, will be successful. I am still trying to discover if romance is a shared illusion, or a dream you have in common. I suppose this is one of those unanswered questions we gather in our lifetime.
2005 Update: Now, I know this will always be unanswered, at least for me.
Update 2005: Have decided for now that being single is the way for me to go. Six years of not being part of a "package" has made me realize all my strengths and weaknesses. I have gotten to know myself and "self" does pretty good by herself. Can't imagine working in tandem any longer...that is part of the past.
Someday, I had hoped to be able to connect with a nice fellow, find warmth and companionship, but that didn't happen and now I will still enjoy all the other good things, of which there are plenty. I definitely am a person who knows how to smell coffee roses or appreciate a glorious sunset and I know the bluebird of happiness has visited my backyard, he is just a bit
illusive at times.
Have been a widow since 1999, and working as a Nurse Assistant in an Assisted Living Facility for the past 4 years. Was a housewife and mother for 31 years, previous to this position. I am presently semi-retired,and will leave this position, in September, 2004.
Update 2005: Finished with this position, retired last year...still feel worn out..and wondering just what "jet fuel" I had been using to get through it all.
I'm a friendly person, willing to lend an ear or give a hand. Honestly like people until they hurt me, deliberately, then I have to say goodbye to them. I will not tolerate cruel or negative people in my circle of friends. Guess I am an onion with many layers. Looking for that certain someone who wants to examine the layers with a hopeful heart and not with judgemental negativity. Someone who can override his preconceived perceptions and really take a hard look at what is really there.
Update 2005: Most people stick to their perceptions and try to fit a square peg in a round hole...then wonder why problems crop up.
My Ideal Person:
Previously>>>>Hoping to meet a Gentleman...That is a very powerful sentence and implies, what it says. Not looking for cyber sex, married men looking for thrills, players or critical males who want to play head games. Would like to meet someone who is interesting as well as interested, equally who knows when to be serious, as well as knows when to be humorous. I would love to connect with a potential friend who has a great sense of humor, compassion and is comfortable with himself. Also, I might add, after being a member here, for over a year, someone who is sure of what he wants and doesn't get lost in the "Box of Chocolates". By this I mean, someone who can make up his mind and be appreciative and prefers the happiness of quality over quantity. Not interested in a fellow who wants to play with all the girls and amass a harem of playmates. Would like a Strong man, as part of my life..
Update 2005: I have met many great friends here in SFF, some online, others in person. Most gentleman met the above criteria and if things were different (in my life) perhaps we could have successfully merged. Fact is that this didn't happen and I am out of the loop, now. I am not one of those people that keeps looking for rainbows and disappoints themselves.. I know that happiness lies within ourselves and is not provided by someone else.
