Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Fort Defiance, 59 year old

Date men and women from United States. Basically, I am a person who is adventurous, and wlling to try new and exciting things. I am a free-minded person who is thankful for what I have and obtained through education and work.I would like to meet a woman who shares my ideals and enjoys life and doesn't take things too seriously, or at least the trivial matters. I like intelligent conversation,but also joke around quite alot. I like people who are proud of who they are and where they are going. I have experienced some exciting events in my life so far, and it seems like I like to look what's over the next hill or if a higher hill, climb that. I often weigh the pros and cons of a given situation before making a decision, but also apt to say "Let's go and be out the door in a flash". The "special someone" I am seeking, I would like to be by my side whenever I do things to the extent possible. I value highly a person's honesty, faithfulness, and reliability in a relationship. I also desire an "open and honest dialogue " with that person before making important decisions. I have a viewpoint that everybody has made some mistakes in the past, and nobody is perfect, however, the point is to learn from those mistakes. To that end, I like to keep learning , as to me nobody is too old to learn. I assume the "special someone", I would like to meet has also experienced exciting thngs and would love to know about it. I read alot also, especially magazines and newspapers and books when time allows. I have had the opportunity to travel the U.S. including Alaska and travelling is a part of my life i enjoy and hope to continue and see the world. I have done some painting in my past, and like to do that again. I just want to enjoy life and share its' bounties with that "Special Someone". I grew up with the wide open spaces as my backyard and literally enjoy Nature. This is evidenced by what I chose as my profession. I sometimes do reflect that being an astronaut would have been the ultimate. I really do like horses and dogs, but cats are ok too. One cannot really bring across who you are and the "Special Someone" you desire in the allotted spaces provided, only meeting and getting to know each other more would suffice.
