Part of me believes that I can live the rest of my life single and still be happy. I've been divorced for 12 years and am happier than I've ever been. Another part of me wonders if I've simply given up on finding someone to share life with. Whether that is travelling, spending a night 'on the town' or alone together at home in front of a great movie and perhaps a bottle of wine. I am a very independent person. The father of two wonderful kids (Son and Daughter) now in their twenties, who I raised on my own from when they were in their early teens. I am also the son of great parents now in their 80's but still vibrant, healthy and in love for more than 60 years! Perhaps it's their example that makes me think that, while I am satisfied and happy alone, living life with a special person would be wonderful too! I am not here to play games. Not here to find the youngest and prettiest but the most compatible. Here to find honesty, intelligence, empathy, wonder and a zest for life equal to my own. I live in the country - about an hour and half drive from Toronto, an hour from other major cities. I love where I live because it's close to water and agriculture and beautiful trails and very nice people. I love the outdoors. Love the water and the woods. I love to cook too (lucky since I live alone ;) I love the warm summer weather, the changing seasons and some parts of the winter (though prefer the warm weather!). I seek a partner - an equal - someone who is comfortable in herself and knows what she wants. I love kids and young people so that's not an issue at all. If I love you - I would love them too :) I am a professional who works mostly at home (in Canada) for a company located in the US. I am a creative - a designer, writer, acoustic guitar player - I love music and art and all forms of media and entertainment. I offer this profile in the hopes that it will tell you enough about me to know whether or not reaching out to me makes sense to you. If I have shown interest in you it's because I find you attractive but most of all because I like what you've said about yourself. Obviously on such a journey as a long distance relationship - there is so much yet to discover that a simple profile could never tell!
