Date women from United States / Alabama / Jackson, 74 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. Okay...I'm a young looking and young acting 74 year old who isn't at all sure about this process. I'm maybe ready to meet a man who is looking for a casual relationship or friendship but at this point, nothing more. Maybe travel which I love to do. In fact, I've traveled to every continent in the world (not including the AntarcticArctic regions) in my business life.
The joy I get in life comes from my home, my garden and my cats. I do extensive volunteer work with various groups and am committed to being a friend to any friend who needs one.
NO SMOKING! I enjoy my wine although I probably would like to enjoy it less.
I do not enjoy cooking but I'm a good host if someone else is doing the cooking.
Life is cool and I intend to live it in the best, most healthy way I can for as long as I can, whether with someone or not. I lost my amazing husband to cancer almost 14 years ago and I'm only now feeling a bit lonely.
I am what I am...not to be changed!

Meet a woman from Alabama, United States. Sort of interesting to write about one's self...
I'm a young, involved, caring 74 year old. I was widowed twelve years ago and have just been "re-widowed" again after losing my 90-year old mother two months ago. I cared for this delightful little mom who was an amputee but always full of feistiness and spirit, most of which I hope I've inherited.
I've had the good fortune to work myself up to be the CEO of a well-known international transportation company, something I left in 1991 to move to the Sierra Foothills for a quieter life. I love the small-town living and have found other outlets for my energy in the past almost 20 years. Volunteering for several nonprofit agencies has kept my brain active.
I love to stay involved in current events and read at least two weekly news magazines cover to cover. Politics? Well, maybe moderate or slightly center left. Compassion is a major part of who I am and I work to help those who have little. In fact, I've participated in a few medical missions to needy overseas locations, such as Colombia, Philippines, Ukraine. I'm not a clinician but I'm a self-starter and a take-charge kind of person. I have little tolerance for couch potatoes.
I enjoy exercise and work at the gym at least twice a week, more at home. Gotta keep the bod somewhat nimble...
Oh, and I'm a cat person with three indoor kitties and one in&out. I love all animals but a dog takes too much time and energy. Cats just love you for what you are to them and if they know you love them back.
My sons are grown and I have three grandchildren, one of whom works in San Francisco. She caught the international bug from the rest of our family. My brother has lives in Asia for 45 years so I visit with some regularity.
Life is good but it feels as if I'm missing companionship. Is Match.com a viable answer? I don't know yet.
