I accept myself for who I am and I am proud to be me.I can be chic, understated,classy,stunning or elegant.People tell me I have a brilliance and authentic style.Since I was a tiny child I've always loved animals since I can remember and always thought someday I would work with them in some way.I thought I was going to be a veterinarian. After working with animals I realized what that entailed and that broke my heart.I no longer work with them.I donate to numerous animal causes and I am rescuer.I am creative, artistic and savvy. My wisdom has been achieved through growth and experience.I am flexible,open,considerate,very generous,communicative,interesting and fun.I try not to sweat the small stuff.Some interests are the outdoors,the arts,music,interior design,cooking,gardening,doing things that are creative,fun and even adventurous!I can be silly.I am very young at heart.Told I am a gourmet cook and should open my own restaruant.I enjoy dining out,especially quaint restaurants with candle light and a good bottle of wine.Movies at home or in the theatre.Museums.Staying fit and exercising are important to me.I try to walk 2 miles every day and workout 3 times a week.Laughter is essential in my life.I give from the heart,love generously and care deeply.I an individual comprised of both passion and compassion.I am down to earth and sentimental.I am a giver,giving from the heart.Being near the water or surrounded by nature,makes me feel happy to be alive.I enjoy entertaining.Dancing.Going to concerts and the theatre.Taking long drives,day or weekend trips.Traveling.Holidays traditions,family,friends are very important to me.Ican be fashion trendy but I do believe style must be possessed.Love a thunderstorm or snow storm,while being all cozy inside.Nothing like the smell of fresh rain.Roaring fires with toasty,gooey marshmallows.Being best friends in a relationship is an essential element.I truly believe that over the long haul the whole purpose of a relationship is to make one happier, not unhappy.A couple that have more in common are usually happier.A relationship is to make one happier not unhappier.A steady diet of conflict will erode your physical and mental health producing feelings of anger,anxiety and unhappiness .
