First meeting would like to meet and get to know the person, get acquainted. Maybe meet at a food chain restaurant, Starbuck's or Tim Horton's, or wherever we decide. A first date could be wherever the gentleman decide or whatever we both decide.

I consider myself to be a good listener, enjoy having fun-do fun things and communicate when you need someone to talk to. Sharing some not too personal life experiences can sometimes break the ice when first meeting. I enjoy activities like bowling, learning new board games, now that the nice weather is coming in, I like to walk some days for exercise.

Be patient, non-judging. Sometimes, taking a person on face-value could be a good sign or precaution on a persons true character.

God. My family-children, grandchildren and having a special gentleman to share my life with.

Waking up, getting out of bed feeling good, ready to face the day, giving God thanks for another day.

Life is shorter than we think. It's sometimes hard, but learn to be forgiving. Try to uplift someone if I see the need. I've had down times in past years and many times no one was there to lift me but my children and having faith in God and knowing that he is the one carrying me through.
