I'm somewhat of an introvert who can be talked out of her shell. Once engaged, my social graces kick in and I actually enjoy myself. The truth is, I'm a loner, but I recognize the need to rub up against another body. I have a handful of girl friends I value and love, but few if any I could fully pour out my heart to. Connecting deeply with women, as I age, has been more difficult than finding a male partner. Though that's a challenge I'm currently facing. A relationship of six years ended over a year ago. I would like to find a loving partner to share my life and its blessings. Its greatest blessing is my daughter and her family. Hara and Steve have given me two granddaughters, Gabrielle and Andrea Rose, and now they're expecting another one in September.
