I am a positive, caring, and compassionate woman. I am happy and consider myself bright and balanced (as much as most people can be). I am a teacher, 3rd grade, and a counselor for youth in the foster care system. I have only 8 more years left before I retire! Flowers, the ocean, antiques,movies, cooking, and music from the 70's are some of my favorites. I still believe in love and romance and desire my last love. I am not thin but strive to get healthy. I am not fit but am active and take care of my health by walkimg, dancing, and trying to keep up with my students! I will see good before anything else, i will feel empathy before I judge. I am joyful, greatful, a bit silly and have a very young heart and mind. Most people have a hard time believing my age and I owe that to clean livibg (no drugs, never smoked, very little drinking, and always kept drama at bay). I believe we are only in control of our choices and will take my consequences for any choices I get wrong. I love, I live, I laugh and I will forgive (only the first time). I am looking for you to be your partner, your cheerleader, your confidant, your sweetheart, and I will take care of your heart, your health, and never take you for granted. If I fall in love with you, there will be romance, giving, caring, traquility, adventure, and a future of surprises.
