I'm a carefree person with energy to burn. I recently retired as an art therapist (sort of) working with a very special population of girls who have been emotionally and/or physically abused, involved in drug abuse, abandoned, or in trouble with the legal system.

I am a very caring, passionate, self-confident, creative, romantic, soft hearted, intelligent, independent woman with a lot of living to do with the right person. Animals are a very important part of my life too, and my ideal mate will love animals and nature. I enjoy cooking and entertaining friends and family and an occasional formal affair. I'm creative and fun loving but will not settle for just a party boy. I'm looking for sincerity and integrity in a man. One who is responsible, financially and emotionally (available) stable, and has the utmost respect for others as well as himself, and family values.

I don't have children of my own, but I could grow to love yours as my own.

Now that I'm retired, my future will include adventure, travel, and an endless desire for learning. I have searched a long time for just the right man, who has a passion for loving and living. I would rather be alone than to settle for anything less.

My ideal match is handsome (not just on the outside but on the inside), self-confident (but not conceited), loves to travel, is fun loving, humorous, well educated and intelligent. He is active and nurtures his body and his soul. He is supportive and sensitive to his partner and her needs (it will be reciprocated). He is one who actively strives to keep romance and passion alive in the relationship.

This is a tall order, but that is a description of my IDEAL mate...nobody is perfect...(myself included).

My definition of fun is doing whatever it is, with someone I care about. There is the issue of degrees of fun. I can have fun (enjoyment) sipping a glass of ice tea watching the sunset alone on my deck, but what intensifies fun is doing it as a couple or as a special friend.

I am a very active person and doing almost anything with the right partner can be fun. Being with someone who cares about you is fun. Whether it be shopping at the local antique mall or grocery store, it is all about being with the right person.
