My personal meaning of life is knowing how to handle what is thrown out at you, whether it be good or bad. Life throws many a curveball, and as you get older, you handle things differently. I very proudly stand on my own two feet - some men seem to be uncomfortable or threatened by it, but one of the biggest curveballs I have gotten in life is expecting someone else to make everything okay. Everyone is responsible for thier own happiness - once you acheive it, all you want to do is share it with someone else, which is why I am here. I no longer want to spend my weekends in a bar just hoping that Mr. Wonderful walks in at the precise time I am there. I am hoping this is a little more proactive! So the question is, WHO is he? Well, I want a man that literally sweeps me off my feet and treats me with all of the respect that I deserve. I want someone who shows up and surprises me at the end of the week by planning a getaway, as well as the man that is willing to go downstairs and get my jeans out of the dryer for me while I get ready for work. I want someone that will help me cook dinner, and someone that can appreciate me for all that I do. It is highly important that he is aware that I am a mother to the most wonderful daughter in the world, as well - any takers? If you are looking for something along these lines, please let me know, and thanks for looking! :0)
