Date men from Canada / Ontario / Caledon, 61 year old

Date a soulmate from Ontario, Canada. Hi there-
Thanks for stopping by and choosing to read my profile.
I am not naive enough to think this profile can capture who I am but I do hope it provides you with enough information to decide whether or not I would be the type of person whom you would like to start a communication.
Well just who am I?
I am a person who is very comfortable in his own skin. I have been blessed to have enjoyed working with teens for many years in a high school setting. I love their enthusiasm and the excitement they bring to life. They are amazing beings with so much passion for the present. I feel very privileged to have met so many of them.
I can push myself to accompish a great deal. Some even say that trait describes someone stubborn. I think it is okay to be stubborn if you believe strongly in something provided you are open to more information. Stubborn implies you have an opinion and I prefer a person who can offer an opinion to one who never commits.
I like to analyze my world so I will always process new stuff. Challenges are looked on by me as an opportunity to be creative and I welcome exploring solutions. They are not daunting to me. For good or for bad, my strong sense of optimism usually drives my search to a hopeful end.
To the world I present a laid back person. I don't get bent out of shape over the small stuff. However, I won't allow myself to be pushed around. I do not get along well with aggressive people.
I prefer to see the world with a smile.. I believe laughter is wonderful medicine and I would hope to find someone who believes that message as well.
I am a gentle soul. I care about others and I am very generous with those who are important to me.
I have a small group of friends and family but they mean the world to me.
I offer a strong physical presence. My build is athletic but stocky. I wish to work towards healthier eating choices, learning more about cooking and taking the time to enjoy more walks and hikes. This approach to living is one I would wish to share.
So who would I like to be with? This description will likely come across as a list.
I don't want to be around a smoker. I want to be with someone who is not so connected to their family that they can allow spontaneity to enter our relationship. I need a person who is intelligent and articulate because I want to find a depth of communication like I have never experienced before.
The person is proud of her femininity and shows it to the world as a strength which it absolutely is. She would not be high maintainance but wants to look into my eyes and see pure love. If you're cute, I'm hooked.
She cares about the world and its people. She avoids negativity. She smiles often and laughs without inhibitions. She feels good about life.
There is mischief in her spirit and she understands the value of play in a relationship. Her life is good and she is considered independent. However, she understands that with a special someone life can be greatly enhanced. This thought matches mine.
I am definitely a more casual kind of guy. Nature is looked upon my eyes in a little boy fashion which means it is seen as a great wonder. I am more rural than urban.
Music gives me energy and frees me to soar. Rock, pop, and blues attract me the most.
I am looking for someone who views life as an adventure as I do. Life is about experiencing.
Financially I am comfortable but I still hold a mortgage.
If you are looking for just one special person and if you demonstrate passion in your life then I know you have understood the words that I have written.
If something I have said has made you wonder and want to ask more questions then I invite you to let me know you are out there somewhere.
Compatibility is an elusive word. At my age, you might think I would have it all figured out but I haven't.
I do believe you are out there . We just have to find each other.
Thank you for reading this. Perhaps this is our start.
