Description
My motivation is fueled by purposeful, intentional living. I take responsibility for defining that and creating a life which is value driven. Meaningful activities and meaningful conversations enrich me.
My contentment stems from gratitude. I am grateful for:
-being healthy, fit and active at 71;
-my wonderful husband of 50 years, who still is dedicated to his profession and works full-time;
-our loving son and his sweet family in San Diego;
-our relaxing home on the shores of Lake Michigan, in Sheboygan, WI;
-my satisfying career as a psychotherapist, which I continue on a very part time basis;
-my volunteer work with the local police department and senior center; and,
-the opportunities life has given me, and continues to offer, for extensive travel and good friends.

More details about your skills
My 50-year career in mental health related positions has provided me with a skill set which includes: good oral and written communication; organizational and management skills; public speaking; counseling and coaching; and teaching.
My personality is open and friendly. I am kind and thoughtful. I tend to be very responsible and reliable. I take commitments seriously. I am comfortable with others but can also enjoy time alone.
As a spouse, mother, grandmother and homemaker I have learned to be efficient and competent in managing a household. I enjoy cooking and baking (I have a preference for healthy food), and value keeping a clean and organized home.
I am computer literate, but not skilled.
When a guest in another's home, I am respectful of property and keep things very clean. In fact, I have been reviewed on AirBandB as leaving a vacation rental in better shape than when I arrived.
Age

What else ...
-I drink very little alcohol but am not opposed to it.

-I do appreciate A/C if temps rise above the high 70s, especially if it's humid.
-I like to read, play games/cards with others.
-Outdoor exercise is important and I especially enjoy biking, walking and swimming.
