Date women from United States / California / Mill Valley, 68 year old

Date someone special from Mill Valley, United States. I recently retired. Worked for cutting edge Internet projects and companies since 1992. Love having free days when I spend most of my time painting in my Sausalito studio or writing crime stories or walking by the Bay in Tiburon where I live. I've traveled a lot in Europe and Central Asia and Russia. Would like to go to India. I'm reading a lot these days often as a way to improve my writing. I like feeling connected to a person; I love laughing and saying out loud what everyone is quietly thinking; I prefer compassionate people who can think of others.
I'd like a friend, companion, perhaps more, who is cheerful, happy with his own life, gives back, has raised children, sees the funny side of life (not so easy these days!), is healthy and who likes art.

Meet a soulmate from Mill Valley, United States. A little about me...
I am a warm, attractive, smart, interesting woman with a variety of interests and passions that include my loving family and great friends. I am passionate about art ( both viewing and creating), I love most forms of theatre, movies, hiking, and appreciating the natural beauty that surrounds us. My favorite way of spending time with new people ( and old) is a low stress meeting with time spent getting to know each other, coffee, a walk or….
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for a partner who has some of the same interests. You are low key, smart, in reasonably good shape and like to "hang out". You are interested in being in a committed relationship but have a life of your own as well. It is not so important to me that we have exactly the same interests, what is important is the you are willing to support my interests as I am willing to support yours
I'd just like to add...
Being able to find humor in daily life is a gift. Making room for each other is important, both as a couple and as individuals. I believe that the best relationships have the essential qualities of acceptance, appreciation of both similarities and differences, and making a daily choice to be together. Love is also essential, but not sufficient. Friendship is the basis of love for me. Chemistry is important as well. If you'd like to contact me please WRITE. Flirts and Icons convey very little about you. Photos are essential.
