I appreciate the simple pleasures in life like stargazing, finding perfectly imperfect shells, a child's laughter, communication through touch, and the fading art of expressing thoughts and emotions through writing. I am a lifelong learner (currently working on my MS in Counseling and Educational Psychology) and tend to find the silver lining in every situation. I still believe that laughter is the best medicine and a warm smile can go a long way to brighten a long day.
I live on the island and I love the beach, the bay, and just about any body of water. Water facilitates my peace and tranquility. I spend most mornings sipping milk tea on my pier and watching the birds swoop in for their morning breakfast before heading out for a brisk walk or jog on the beach to start my day. Evenings are spent much the same way only in reverse order; brisk walk or jog on the beach followed by sipping a relaxing glass of wine in a rocker on the deck and watching the birds swoop in for dinner :) I relax and reflect on the day by watching the sun set and taking in the sights and sounds that living on the island can offer.
I am culturally diverse, have traveled internationally, and have a knack for languages and cooking. Mediterranean is my specialty :)
I prefer music to television and I love singing and attending live music events whenever possible. My taste varies from classical to classic rock.
At this stage in my life it's fair to say that I am attracted to, value, and appreciate; kindness, humility, intelligence, playfulness, patience, quick-wit, honesty, loyalty, and mutual respect in a partner. These are attributes that you will find we share in common. Communication is key as is the ability to love unconditionally and reciprocate affection.
None of us are perfect, but EACH of us is perfect for someone....
Do you appreciate the beauty of a freckled, sun-kissed shoulder? Does the reflection of the moon on the water make you want to sleep under the stars? Do you marvel at each sunset, certain that today's is more beautiful than yesterday's? Is love friendship on fire?
I am patiently waiting for my intended path to unfold and reveal itself to me. Compatibility and chemistry. The rest will fall into place...........
A small glimpse of my philosophy of the heart and mind:

A reason to hope.....
"They say they built the train tracks over the Alps between Vienna and Venice before there was a train that could make the trip. They built it anyway. They knew one day the train would come. Any arbitrary turning along the way and I would be elsewhere. I would be different. What are four walls anyway? They are what they contain. A house protects the dreamer. Unthinkably good things can happen, even late in the game."
