Date women from United States / California / Santa Clara, 68 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. An East Coaster at heart, I am happy to have landed - and built a life - in the Bay Area. I'll admit that the prospect of retiring was a little disconcerting; my energy level has always run high, and I worried just a touch that I would find myself bored and unsettled. The opposite has happened and I find that I am really enjoying spontaneous experiences and the little surprises of life which
make each and every day a new day to cherish.
I'm a believer in quality over quantity and live an intentional life that expresses conviction and gratitude. Culturally, pastimes like the symphony, reading, concerts and live theatre feed my soul. I am blessed with interesting friends and family who make each day more remarkable in unique ways. Receiving joy and love from two grandsons (4 and 9) is one of my greatest blessings. I am fortunate to participate in many of their school and social activities.
NYC provides me with tons of positive energy. Recently walked from upper Manhattan to several areas of Brooklyn and on another day explored the wonders of Central Park - a must when in NYC. I consider NYC my home away and visit twice a year.
I understand the importance of maintaining my independence and enjoy spending some time alone. My ideal partner will be able to say the same. He has experienced healthy, long term relationships and is stable in every sense of the word and in all aspects of his life. Growing intellectually, spiritually, finding joy in life and sharing meaningful experiences with his partner are part of his ongoing goals. He will be kind, understanding and appreciative of a caring, fun relationship.
We both desire our compansionship to share many of life's experiences. We both know that life is filled with good and, sometimes not so good, and recognize that while the good is enhanced with a special someone, the not so good is easier to bear with a partner. We aim to impact each other in encouraging ways, enjoy our down time together and honor our individual pursuits.
I am attracted to men with warm smiles. A classy persona, attention to personal grooming and lack of facial hair are must-haves in my book, as is an indelible way of interacting with others that speaks volumes without saying a word.
My ideal partner is obviously health conscious, ready and willing to share experiences and never winks. Emails are welcome, however.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I love those "Aha" moments when some answer I've seeked to express is lite up before me, those profound moments where my soul is ilumined.I'm greatly moved by the randdom injustice of the world that we are so helpless to change, like the 1 yr old child shot for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. And I am sadened at myself where I am unkind for petty reasons.
