Life is a constant clroom, and I haven't stopped learning. I adore traveling and hope to return to Brazil to visit friends. Taking a cruise is one of my favorite styles of vacations. I love to watch a good movie, some of my fav actors include Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Maggie Smith and Judy Dench. Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are 2 fabulous series that everyone should see and read at least once, then watch the movies. But my fav all time is the 1937 version of "A Star is Born" with Janet Gaynor and Fredrik March. Friends will usually find me watching Antiques Roadshow, Bargain Hunt and Cash in the Attic, with GMA and Discovery channel thrown in to expand my mind. Novels are my best friends, Stephen King, Sydney Sheldon, Anne Rice, Andrew Greely, Phillipa Gregory and Nicholas Sparks are just a few of my favorite authors. We mustn't forget Tolstoy and Chaucer (although War & Peace puts me to sleep) I'm domesticated, and I do play well with others (smiles and laughter abound) If I'm not reading a book I like to watch movies and crochet or do cross sch. Snorkeling, swimming or doing anything outdoors are some of my favorite activities. Not a huge fan of cold weather, but I do know how to ski and can make a nice snow ball. This quote has become my mantra, I strive to make it a reality, it says it all..."To laugh much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--this is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile. Remember If you can't have the best of everything, Make the best of everything you have. Hmmm want to know anything more? just ask me. I can't understand this "Mutual" thing they have here...I promise I don't bite, just send me an email...and thanks for checking out my profile, I like me and I think the right person will too...
