Daveloves, 68

I am thankful to know love begins, grows, remains, grows again - respect, trust, safety, acceptance, honor, gratefulness, caring, giving, healing, comfort, tenderness, cherishing, passion - with strength and immense depth. I am thankful for a caring Creator; for redemption, mercy, grace. I am grateful for reasonable health and faculties; for sustenance, for a home in quiet woods, for the joys of a Great Lake nearby - for trails and sails. And for choice and pathways in our life.

A dream I would like to come true:
I wake seeing someone near me I *innately* love! We inspire, encourage, and are warmed by each other's presence, words, choices, actions, and touch. We enjoy each other's company whether busy with something we've planned together or when relaxing. We like ‘nesting’ at home and venturing out. We engage others in joy and helping. Our hearts and home are open while being wise and careful. Our strengths and desires compliment each other. We are stronger, wiser, happier together.

My life:
Over the decades, at times smooth sailing, some storms and waves - much learning and processing too. So much to be learned from life and people. I can be an open book, should there be mutual interest. In my very early years, I began living in a informal protective mode, mostly tuning in to increasing knowledge, logic, reasoning, At age 35, I set aside my ‘inner shell’, I opened up to more of life. I choose to ‘breathe hope’. I invite connection and love.
