Date women from Canada / Ontario / Markham, 59 year old

Date a woman from Canada. How to capture the essence and depth of personality and character in a few words on a Match profile? I'll give it a go! A
mature woman who still feels 17 inside and has a zest for life that belies her years. I am bubbly and energetic and try to grab life with both hands and make the most of every situation and enjoy the moment. I am an English country girl who enjoys banter and repartee. I am happiest on my bike with the wind in my hair, kayaking amongst the sun sparkles on the lake, walking in the woods in autumn with the crunch and smell of the leaves. II have many interests, some being becoming totally absorbed in a good book, trying to capture that elusive photograph, attempting to hit that silly little white golf ball or sailing at the lake. I feel at peace at the cottage, at one with nature. II try to be empathetic and compassionate and can see the funny side of situations and the various twists and turns life takes. After a workout my body tingles and I feel so healthy and alive. Travel inspires me....one grows so experiencing new places. I have photographed polar bears in Churchill, traipsed around China and kayaked the Great Bear Rain Forest in BC to photograph the elusive spirit bear. I just returned from bicycling in Vietnam. At the end of the day the joy of sharing a glass of wine, good food and laughter with friends. I am told I have a heart as big as Texas. I am told I am unique!
As that song at the start of Moulin Rouge says I think most of us hope to love and be loved in return. Love makes us want to be better people. It makes the happy times happier and helps us throught the grey days. But how to find that kindred spirit, someone authentic??? I wonder if the man reading this might have that certain spark of life and be still a boy at heart. A man who knows who he is and what he wants. A man who has strength but is not afraid to show emotion. Who is energetic and enthusiastic about life. He has a sense of humour that is subtle not sarcastic and does not take himself too seriously. Who hopes to meet a woman to share not only some joint activities but mutual friendship, love, joy, passion and kindness. While I am an independent woman who can stand on her own two feet it is amazing ...that feeling of being fully a woman with a special man. I believe in interdependent relationships where one supports the other but does not suffocate or cling. I wonder if that man might just be reading my profile!
