Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Brownsboro, 51 year old

Date men and women from United States. I've been described many ways - many of the adjectives can be used as a positive or negative. On the bright side, I'm sensitive and empathetic. On the down side, sometimes I'm too sensitive and too empathetic!
I try to be kind and I've been told that I'm very tactful. I try to not take myself too seriously and am looking for someone that doesn't mind some teasing. I'm fairly laid back - some people say I'm a bit of a free spirit.
I am looking for someone with a great sense of humor and an honest love for animals. I appreciate it when a man is kind for the sake of being kind - not just because they might want something. I would like a man with an open mind that doesn't judge people on the basis of what they look like.
Other than my kids, animals of all kinds are my passion. I'm always amazed that there are people that consider animals disposable. I feel like animals have something to tell us if we only take a few minutes to listen.

Meet people from United States. I married my college sweetheart and divorced 28 years later. I loved being married and being a wife. I am a mother of 2, both in college. I am an engineer and work full-time for a major defense contractor. I have a close family and we enjoy spending time together. I play the piano. I love the beach. I like most sports. I like the performing arts, books, good food, a good bottle of wine, movies, sunsets. I'm new to the online scene but willing to give it a try.
