Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. Service to others describes my idea of a purposeful life. That is the only lasting and meaningful legacy you can truly leave here. But rewarding oneself with what you have "earned" is acceptable too.
I served in the active duty Air Force for five years and the Guard/Reserves for six years in the Administrative field. When I completed active-duty I began teaching Business/Marketing Education, High School and Adult Education. My most recent employment was a VSO (Veterans Service Officer) for four years. Although State budget cuts led to the closing of my County's VA office, I continue to provide veterans a means to access their VA benefits.
After 22 years of marriage, my husband and I separated in March of this year. We share custody of our 15 year old son. I live in a small town on 12 acres, and enjoy landscaping/gardening. I also enjoy making a genuine connection to others and helping them when and how I can if they are willing to help themselves.
I do not attend church regularly, but consider myself a Christian, and am concerned for our Country losing it's founding of a Christian foundation. I would consider myself mostly conservative politically, however, I think we (Americans) are for the most part, "played" by both sides of our political parties. I am continually amazed how I no longer recognize the Country I grew up in. I definitely favor true capitalism over socialism/communism. I have traveled to many major US cities and multiple countries abroad, including Europe and South/Central America. I think traveling is an excellent educational experience and would like to continue to travel 2-3 months each year. I am not fond of flying, however, that is the only practical means of getting to many places.
I do not think I will necessarily re-marry, but, would like to find a monogamous companion. I think both the human emotional and physical touch is very important in addition to shared ideas and interest.
