Date men and women from Canada / Alberta / Claresholm, 52 year old

Date someone special from Claresholm, Canada. Most people on here seem to put all their best attributes down for their possible matches to see, yet after a short time, some not so favorable ones seem to poke thru, so to quote the words of Marilyn Monroe:
I can be selfish impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, can get out of control and at time a little hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
Yes, I am 50, my pics were all taken within the past few months.
I don't feel I either look or feel my age and I still at time wonder what I want to do when I grow up.
That being said, I am very responsible, have a good head on my shoulders, love to learn, listen and experience.
I love to laugh, almost always see the glass as half full, and can find beauty in almost everything.
When my son was 11 he was diagnosed with cancer and a woman came up to us in Childrens hospital and said "Try to find the good in this terrible tragedy" At the time I wanted to strangle her, but I thought about what she said, and I found the good, and each day since I take those same words and apply them to life. There is good in everything that happens, you just need to look for it.
I am very artistic and I love to paint (canvas and walls) create (with wood) and experiment (with food and wine), and that is how I like to live as well.
I am comfortable in jeans and a tee shirt or heels and a little black dress. I enjoy sitting in a pub sipping a beer, or listening to a symphony in a theatre, or having drinks with friends around a firepit in the back yard.
I am potentially looking for someone to share my life with. Someone who can laugh at himself and who isnt afraid to act silly once in a while. Someone who is understanding and patient, loves to learn, and is passionate about Something. Someone who has dreams and goals and is still full of life.
