Laceyk, 71

Hope, Dream & Believe In this day-to-day world of work, squeeze in a few minutes for exercise and expanding my mind, care for the kitties, keep connected with family, work, clean house, cook (for one, how sad yet innovative and educational), shop, read, write, take photos of this, that and the other, I still find an emptiness - a need, if you will, to have others involved in my life.

Viewing the works of artists, reading, and live music (classic rock, jazz, R&B and country) are activities I enjoy. The energy of the musicians and their fans amazes me - even at a jam session.

This summer, I became a gardener - watching plants grow and bloom due to my nurturing has been awesome. My taste in movies and books is eclectic at best. My collection includes psychological masterpieces, science fiction, westerns as well as Drawing for Dummies, Disney, wine journals and books on ghosts, passion and "just "being".

Disneyland is said to be the happiest place on earth only I have found that the happiest place on earth is wherever one is when one feels happy. Be it in the living room watching a movie, in the kitchen cooking a gourmet meal, gardening outside, walking on the beach at sunset holding hands with someone special or lounging in bed together on a Sunday morning while reading the Sunday newspaper. Back to Disneyland...I have a season pass - let's go!

Seeking someone who has a great sense of humor and who is passionate, a good cook (or chef's assistant), a dynamite kisser and who differs enough from me to show me his view of life and allows me to show him mine.

Should my hopes, dreams and inspirations touch your heart strings, you know what to do...
