Date women from United States / California / Sonora, 58 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am at a point in my life in which I am very comfortable with myself and realize more than ever how absolutely precious each and every moment is. I incorporate spirituality into my life - always rooting for the underdog and doing my part to make the world a better place.I treasure every moment whether it is at work (which is in the health care profession) or during my own time. I
love reading both fiction and non-fiction and both long works and magazine/journal articles and poetry. Music is a big part of my life both enjoying it on my own and attending live venues. I love almost all types of music though rap and I have never come to much of an understanding. I also love live theater and am blessed to have three local live theaters in my county. I also find pleasure watching movies - all different types including old classics, foreign films and documentaries as I never tire from learning. I also enjoy the outdoors and love both the mountains in Yosemite and other parts of the Sierras and the ocean. I grew up near the Atlantic Ocean and never tire of just sitting on the beach or strolling along it. I can be just as content being at home, trying a new recipe or cooking a tried and true recipe. I am pretty much a vegetarian though will eat seafood and poultry on occasion. I love trying different ethnic foods and am particularly fond of Thai cooking. I love to laugh and have a good time; a sense of humor is a must!
Who am I looking for? I am looking for someone who wants to be a part of my life and actively share in it - not someone who is going to sit in front of the TV for hours on end. Life is way, way too short for that. I am not interested in relationship games or players. I am looking for a monogamous relationship, one which in which we mutually respect one another and are there for both the ups and downs. Even at my age I am often open to change and always open to compromise. I'm looking for someone who is not scared away by the fact that at this point I live in Sonora. ::) I know you're out there somewhere.........................
