Wow, interesting to be on here again. 5 years and re-reading what I wrote. Will modify and much growth since first on. Had an incredible connection off of this site that ended tragically with an accident/death. However, a strong lesson in true love and it's existence.
There is nothing better than a quality relationship between a man and a woman. I adore men and find them to be the more honest of the two sexes. I believe it is the quality of the time shared, not necessarily the quantity. There is a balance within this.
I thrive on humor and feel that maturity is not all it is cracked up to be. I do know when to keep it in its place. Love a good giggle in a serious setting. Make me laugh until I cry!!!
Would like to share that I am a single mother of an 19 and 15 year old children, with shared custody, however, I only have my 15 year old with me 50/50 time share. Also have two adult children 32 and 33 that are out on their own and self-sufficient as we like them. A few grandchildren. I now know why they are called "grand". Liberal in my thinking, due in part to my upbringing in the Bay Area where people were out before they went in. I hope you will be too. You can't change this aspect of me, so do not try . I am not on here to get into a political debate. If you voted "yes" on CA Prop 8, (attempting to prevent gays from getting married) I'm probably not your match. I do not push my views on anyone. My mother raised us Catholic, yet provided an open outlook on life and people that we took on. Makes life so much easier. No longer practice the Catholic faith, but have a firm belief that I keep private. Honestly, do not believe in "organized religion". Very family focused and this is an important aspect in my life. Love my work and hope that you love yours too. I am simple in my needs and easily pleased by the smallest of pleasures in life.
