Date women from United States / California / Pacific Grove, 63 year old

Date someone special from Pacific Grove, United States. Describe myself....actually I think words just get in the way, but here goes.
I'm an artist. My life, in as much as possible, is a creative flow. I love the beach and the outdoors. I workout in some way almost every day. Fitness and good diet are extremely important to me. I strive to maintain my youthful appearance, demeanor and physique. I am kind, occasionally to a fault, sensual and warm. I'm a toucher, a nurturer and a lover. I enjoy a man who enjoys me and reciprocates. My lifestyle is fairly quiet, though I enjoy an occasional concert, party w/ good friends, a play or a movie. I'm witty and clever and always enjoy a good joke and a laugh. I am slow to anger and quick to forgive (most things.) I enjoy preparing food for a man that is excellent in taste, good for the health and doesn't take too long to fix. I do NOT like spending my life in the kitchen. I enjoy reading and studying French when time permits, and having lived in Mexico years ago, I still speak Spanish, though not perfectly. I am at the end of a 27 yr. marriage to a wonderful, much older man, whose last 7 years were consumed by dementia. So, for the past 7 years, my main role has been care-giver. I would now like to do some living for me and find someone with whom to share this life, perhaps not forever, but at least for a while.
I seek in a man a friendly demeanor, a quick and ready smile and a kind heart, honesty and integrity. A willingness to try things he may not have tried in the past and a sense of fairness. I seek a man who is passionate and enjoys intimacy and can express that. I am a patient and tolerant lover. I seek a man with good and clean habits and a sense of neatness. No slobs.
He need not be rich, drop dead gorgeous or built like an adonis. I like a warm cuddly body that's nice to snuggle with. I prefer clean shaven and curly hair on his head if possible, but that is optional. Most important is attitude and character. I do enjoy an intelligent mind and good conversationalist.
What am I grateful for? I am grateful for everything I have in my life, for my life, my talent and for having had the wisdom and strength to totally walk away from alcohol 19 months ago. My sober lifestyle is a daily blessing. I am thankful for my friends. I am thankful for each new day that unfolds before me and the limitless possibilities it presents to me.
I am passionate about pretty much everything I do or I wouldn't be able to do it. I choose to live passionately. I'm just a passionate, aries girl, I guess. To me, to live otherwise is merely to exist. If I should get down over something, I get back up fast. I try to always keep a right attitude about life and all it presents. It's not a rose garden, but it's not a junk yard either. Attitude counts for a huge portion of who we are as human beings. To be compassionate is as important as being passionate. I am a person who WILL stop and help people in need, not walk on by, oblivious.
I live in Carmel-by-the-Sea, and for that I feel I have been blessed beyond measure! I've been here for 15 years and I thank God for that. I'm a native of the East coast; NY & NJ. I've travelled quite a bit, lived in many places and would like to travel some more, one day. Meanwhile, I'm happy here in my petit village. OK...'nuff said...who are you?

Meet a woman from Pacific Grove, United States. I am a well educated, liberal conservative with a passion for travel and the bush. I love people and entertaining, scintillating conversation. Giving is a part of my being. I am fortunate in my life and feel even luckier when I can bring something to others. I am looking for someone with whom I can enjoy a warm sensual relationship filled with theater, the outdoors, travel and good conversation. Someone healthy and self sufficient.
