Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Sitka, 47 year old

Date a man from Sitka, United States. I love to be outdoors, and enjoy having good time. I'm honest, faithful, hardworking, and have a good sense of humor. I believe in taking care of my body, exercising and eating healthy. I keep a positive attitude, and look for the best in people, I love to be busy, and also enjoy family time, and exploring new places.
I'm looking for someone who is out going, loves outdoor activities, and not afraid to show affection. She should be comfortable with herself, and have a great attitude. She should be someone that can be interested in my life style, but willing to show me hers. I would like her to be athletic, and I would enjoy doing sporting activies together. I want to be attracted to her and her to me, that spark has to be there. I want her to be passionate about what she does, and to be the best she can be no matter what she doing. It would be great if she were stable, but spontaneous, to be able to cut loose and have fun. So if your looking for an adventure, and appreciate nature drop me a note.

Meet a soulmate from Sitka, United States. I will try my best to describe my better points without sounding arrogant or conceited.
Non of the following is absolute, so maybe there is chemistry, like you get a certain positive "vibe" about me, maybe you should send me an e-mail. :)
My lifelong dream of starting and running a highly successful home business is becoming a reality! YES!! I am so VERY excited about it!
I try to live my life by the wisdom found in quotes, so I would like to share some of my favorites:
"Success: To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a little bit better, whether by healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life had breathed easier because you have lived, This is to have succeeded."~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
The above quote is one of my all time favorite quotes!
"Soap is to the body what laughter is to the soul" ~ Yiddish proverb
"Blessed are they that laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be entertained." ~ Chinese proverb
Self-development is important to me. I listen to cd's (that were transferred to iTunes), read great quotes, etc. to maintain my positive mental attitude, and it also helps me to maintain my happy, cheerful attitude.
These song lyrics sent a chill up and down my spine! "You've been waiting for this moment all your life to be free" from Blackbird by The Beatles.
I'm not here to play games or find one night stands. My goal for being here is to find a life partner and best friend.
Laughing and having fun is important to me. I greatly enjoy being around people who could make me laugh. There are many things on a daily basis to laugh at, especially when I'm around my nieces and nephews.
My favorite activities are hiking, learning about and giving massages, ESPECIALLY foot massages.
Also: reading, self-improvement, pencil drawing, native beading and carving, cooking, woodworking, birding, observing nature, hunting, berry picking, and yes, HIKING.
Did I mention that I LOVE hiking?
The things that I'm proud about are: I've volunteered at a place called Alaska Raptor Center for 11 years, I was in the Alaska and Washington State Army National Guard for 12 years.
If you've volunteered in your life, you will score major points with me. It says volumes about a person
My ideal Match would be:
• My best friend
• Easy to get along with.
• You know the definition of “altruism” and you have experienced it in your life by volunteering in any capacity.
• Has a great sense of humor and laughs and has fun easily.
• Enjoys life.
• Physically fit and has a mostly healthy diet.
• Enjoys animals.
• Enjoys teasing and being teased. Sarcasm is something you highly value in life, and you could dish it out AND take it.
• I know people aren't perfect. My match would have to be tolerant of my imperfections and I will be tolerant also.
• My match would be happy without me in her life, but is willing to allow me to contribute to her happiness, as well.
• I have lofty goals; it would be great to have a special lady to support and encourage me in my pursuit of my goals and dreams. Maybe you could give me a swift kick when I need it! :)
• Philanthropy is one of my goals, so being very successful in my own business isn't just for my own benefit.
I have about 14 nieces and nephews; I've enjoyed watching all of them grow up. Having my own children someday is VERY important to me.
Please Note: The age parameters I have chosen are very important for me, mainly because those ages are very likely to want to have children. :)
Geez! You've actually read this far?! :) Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me!
