Date women from United States / Alabama / Saraland, 60 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. I inherited the ability to always look on the bright side - look for the silver lining. There is always some nugget that can be gleamed, even if the situation doesn't immediately appear to have anything but stress or heartache. Each day is a joy to live and an opportunity to put a smile on the face of someone you know - or sometimes, even don't know.
I am rather independent, enjoy good conversation and delight in doing things with people that also enjoy life. It would be wonderful to find a "best friend" that could eventually become someone I wouldn't want to be without, but for now, I'm realistically just in "Dating 101" - looking for someone that would enjoy getting to know someone new and see where it goes.
