Hi... It's difficult to know what to share,not used to writing about myself. I seem to do fine in person where I get a sense of energy from the other person and the kind of connection. I'm fairly new to the site and have gotten some ideas on what to share by having read others' profiles. I am looking primarily for a good friend with whom I can share goals, and dreams. I have a dog, I like the arts, mostly the performing arts, I get nourished with authentic and intellectual conversation. I'm kind of old school but try to learn from everyone, even the young. I've had a challenging life and hope and focus on doing what gives me joy as I get older. I love nature and the outdoors. I study French and hope to move there. I have Italian ancestry and hope to visit the town where my family came from when traveling. I'm working on a small business in communication while trying to keep healthy and fit. Thanks for reading.
