~*T*~

I've always lived on the Oregon Coast. I love the ocean, the feel of the sand between my toes, the sound of the waves crashing, and the way the sun glistens over the water. So peaceful, so captivating. I love to travel, see new and different places, but tend to get restless if I am gone for an extended amount of time. I enjoy nature, taking walks, and the rain. I love the smell of freshly cut grass, open campfires, and clean linens. Body parts I am most fond of are hands, eyes, and stomachs. I adore babies, children laughing, and watching animals play. I tend to be quite sensitive, always have been. I don't like games or dishonesty. I am an upfront, honest person and expect that from my friends. With finesse, of course. *smile* I believe that good communication is the key to a successful relationship, regardless if it is with your companion, friends, or coworkers. As for love... ****"To love is nothing.. To be loved is something.. To love and be loved is everything..."*** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~Love's Laughter~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There is a place within each of us from which laughter springs. I think it must be somewhere awefully close to the heart. The thrill which leads us to laugh is surely connected to that which leads us to love. They are as intertwined as music and dance or prayer and devotion. Whether brought on by candid honesty of a child or the wit of a sweetheart, laughter expresses love and appreciation for that person. And as it bubbles from within and rises to the surface, laughter becomes the manifestation of love.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Lovelifeandlaugh~ ~Laughter is the way to true love~************************************************
