Bragging Rights:
                                        I love with the fullest depths of my heart; completely, eternally, and unconditionally. I am a giver, generous of self and always ready to help someone in need. I am by nature a nurturer and have finally, over the years, realized that I require nurturing and caring for in return. I believe in true love, in the sanctity of marriage, in a faithful, passionate, open and honest partnership that can last a lifetime. I see beauty in everything and find the good in things first. I look for the best in people and usually find it. Occasionally I am disappointed because I don't see the rot behind a pretty facade until it reaches out and hurts me- but I'd rather be positive and occasionally get bruised than see the ugly first. I prefer to be surrounded by beauty. I embrace realistic optimism. I have a passion for life and all things pretty- I see possibilities and potential where most people see something not worth the effort. I'm not afraid to get dirty and work to get things done. From my experience, you don't get anything or anywhere without a lot of sweat, blood, and tears. But if you work for it, it means that much more and is that much more valuable. I am a sensualist- texture, taste, aesthetics, aroma, sound are all important to me; which leads to my passion for art, gardening, music, theater, and houses. I love great architecture and great design. I am enthusiastic about houses: everything houses- decorating, gardening, repairing, and tending them. I require neat, clean, well-organized, beautifully functional surroundings that work for my lifestyle. I endeavor to help others achieve the same.
