Date men and women from Canada / Ontario / Port Perry, 58 year old
Date people from Canada. Integrity above all else is essential in anyone I spend my time with. Character, calling, strength, resilience, honesty, courage, intelligence ... inate not necessarily acquired. Passion and purpose and a love of life and learning. I am drawn to people who have the desire to suck the marrow from life's bones and who know how to make the best of any situation.
I was raised by a quiet, patient, intellectual artist father who introduced me to all things cultural and a spicey, sexy, street smart, optimistic and indomitable mother with a crazy sense of humour and a zest for life. I'm a hybrid of the two. They adored and admired one another in spite of and because of their differences. I want that respectful symbiosis and commeraderie and am beyond settling for less.
I am happy, content and fulfilled in my new found independence and am not looking for a project. I would enjoy a self contained, emotionally whole, kind, loving, intelligent, interesting companion who will enhance what I have, not fill voids. Sex appeal would be a big bonus as well. A great part of that is between the ears.
Those with addictons, unresolved emotional issues, latent hostilities or wives (separated means you have a wife) need not apply. I am looking to live the rest of my life growing, learning, experiencing, enjoying, travelling and above all savouring all my moments.
Make me laugh, teach me new things, dance with me in the kitchen, make me a cup of tea or run me a bath after a hard day, take me to a play once in a while, help me cook from time to time, read to me out loud, discuss ideas with me, and give me a hug or kiss for no reason and I'm a pretty happy girl. I'm low maintenance.
I am happiest when I'm writing or putting my hand to creative pursuits but with two jobs and a home, time is my most valued commodity. Home, family, quiet times, sharing thoughts and ideas and learning new things is a vital part of life for me.
I'm as at ease in high heels and seamed stockings as I am in a lumberjack
shirt and equally adept should the occaision arise, of having tea with the queen or turning the air blue with Paul Bunyanesque prowess if warranted. In short, a walking conundrum of sorts. If you are looking for a daily diet of pablum; I'm not what you are looking for. If you are looking for tabasco with every meal ... I'm not that either. I just think life should be lived and love should have a little fire in it's belly.
I make a point of being grateful for all of my blessings on a daily basis. I am in love with all of my children but my most fervent wish for them is to see them fly and hope they find enduring love. I don't need to keep them tethered. Life is meant to be lived. Carpe Diem.
I am a travel agent during the week and work hospitality at a posh wedding venue on weekends during the season. In spite of the reality that it's the lion's share of our business, a week at a 4 star resort in Cuba leaves me cold. Travel to me should be an immersion in the culture. I am passionate about history and cannot get enough of what was. I have spent days in the tower of London alone absorbing every nuance, I have been wined and dined in a Greek home, I have had dinner made for me by an Italian in Venice, I have marvelled at Versailles and been awed by David in Florence. Every culture is built on the ashes of it's past and to visit a country without experiencing it's history or meeting it's denizens is a vapid facsimile of travel. All of this to say that when from time to time I am blessed by some intrepid voyager who wants to actually see some degree of this vast, magnificent world we live in, my excitement is palpable.
I know. I'm a bit of a square peg but those who love me ... REALLY love me. I actually celebrate that square-peggedness now that I'm older and am quite happy about who I've become. I would like to share a little of my precious time with someone who's a bit of a square hole and is happy to be so.
