I’m an open-minded free thinker with a huge thirst for learning and living in the present. Compassion and a sense of common humanity – the value that everyone deserves to be treated with kindness, courtesy and respect – are two qualities that I am forever cultivating. Friends and family have variously described me as kind, compassionate, passionate, giving, thoughtful and hardworking. Throw in incurably curious. Day to day, I enjoy regular workouts, healthy eating and reading though my interests are wide-ranging. I'm up for just about any activity as long as we're not risking life and limb. For the most part, I’d much rather participate than spectate, much rather do than observe. I do, however, enjoy restful, contemplative time and see it as essential to a balanced life. I like a healthy sense of humor and play and believe that, no matter our age, it’s good for the soul to nurture our inner child with wonder, creativity and, yes, even a bit of silliness now and then. I try to live with gratitude and take great joy in simple pleasures -- for instance, believing that if you're in good health, you're blessed with more than most and that any activity can be pure joy with right company. Just looking for someone to share all of life’s wonders with.
