Interests
I enjoy music, the outdoors, sports, theatre, reading, painting...just about anything. I love to laugh, I love to spend time with my friends. I like taking walks and watching sunsets. I spend time writing songs, poetry or pretty much using any piece of paper I can to write on. I read and keep an open mind all the time. Reading is an important part of my life. I believe just behind every turn of the page lies something else I did not know. I recently have been working on a screenplay and have continued to write everyday. I've been to the jungles in Panama and Costa Rica. I have walked across mountain ranges. I love the ocean and the spiritual calmness is brings. I believe that there is good in everyone. I hope everyone watches PBS and alternative programming of some sort and doesn't believe everything they hear without questioning it first. Don't believe what everyone tells you, but never forget that everyone has a different story to tell.... I believe if people are honest with themselves, if they receive gratefully and give quietly...if they are gentle enough to feel while being strong enough to show their feelings ... slow to see the fault of others but quick to discover their goodness...cheerful in difficult times but modest in success...they will have many friends.... I've been through a lot in my life-just like everyone else I guess. I'm basically doing well.
