I'm a pretty easy person to figure out. I was a Navy wife for many years until I became widowed in 2004. I'm usually pretty direct and very honest, which doesn't always make me popular but at least what you see is what you get. It doesn't take alot for me to find happiness, goodness, and beauty in both the people that I meet and in life itself. I prefer the simpler ways of living and enjoy leading a rather quiet lifestyle. I actually like staying home with the people that I love...taking care of them and making them happy. I honestly do believe that everything really does happen for a reason and that the people that come into our lives are brought to each of us for a reason...whether they ,or myself, are aware of it. Who am I to question Fate or Destiny? I also believe very strongly in Karma...what you put out into the world, and extend to others, will come back to you. I've tried many things and lived in several places and have learned something from each and every experience. I try to keep an open mind as much as possible. I grew up small town and enjoy being neighborly and still, to this day, think that way and like it...even after the years in San Diego as a Navy wife and the time here in Virginia. Maybe I'm outdated, and behind the times, but that's me. I enjoyed being the "June Cleaver" type thoroughly. I am a Navy Widow of a few years and a single-Mom to two teens that will very soon be moving on to explore their own paths in life and to hopefully make their mark upon the world. I define home, not in geography but rather, wherever my heart is...and that would be with the man that I love regardless of the where. Hmm...guess that I should work on the whole finding that man thing some huh? And yes, even at 40, I still blush.
