Being outside, staying active, my family(my son and my dog), my friends, smiling, laughing, being kind to others, nature, connecting to others, holding hands, learning, listening to music, drinking coffee, having a beer after work, looking for beauty all around me, people watching, being silly, whatever feels good at the time.
I'm into laid back types who like to have fun and be silly. I'm trying to avoid those that are too grumpy, dramatic, or meanspirited.
