Renie, 51

I want to share life's simple pleasures as well as its ups and down's with a supportive partner, best friend, great lover and their loving family. I like positive people who offer their genuine self to their family, friends and even strangers through love, kind gestures or thoughtful words. I offer others my appreciation for them in many different ways.

I love experiencing nature through a leisurely hand-in-hand walk, scenic hike, or just taking time to enjoy the sun, stars, sky and moon. I take pleasure in the simple joys in life: family, friends, children laughing, cooking, trying new things and yes, even work. I love being an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Nursing Professor and volunteer. I have learned that although money and possessions makes life a little easier, it is not how we should define ultimate individual success.

I am not afraid to overcome life’s many challenges. We can truly appreciate happiness, once we have suffered true pain. I want to share my life with someone who is not afraid to live, as opposed to numbing themselves with cigarettes/cigars, alcohol, drugs, gambling, T.V., shopping, neurosis, etc.. HONESTY, open communication, sincerity, affection and a passion to live life to its fullest are key qualities I possess and seek. Life is short and changes unexpectedly. I want to share it with someone I can make very happy in so many ways.
