HOPEWRITER, 62
I have a very active life, but want to make room and time for a special person to spend many years together. I find time to go to Braves’ games, attend literary events, try out new recipes for my friends – usually small groups; take short weekend trips, and sometimes becoming a shoulder to cry on for friends that lose spouses, or parents. I don’t go looking for the last item, but that just somehow happens. I MAKE time for a special person in my life. You?
Here are a few of my life guidelines that have helped form my personality.
• Companionship is a partnership, containing loyalty, integrity, and includes me pampering as much as possible, especially if my companion becomes ill. Even someone with the common cold deserves some homemade chicken soup.
• I rarely become angry; just not worth it. That is, unless someone harms or threatens a woman or a dog.
• I will never understand the love of Autumn that people have. I see it a season of dying leaves and the end of baseball season. But if my love wants to go look at dying leaves and become emotional, I will drive to wherever I am directed.
• I’m not ready to retire, so I don’t have the time to swim the Amazon, then climb Mt. Fuji, while listening to the symphony on my MP3 player
