Honesty is very important so here you go :
No Trump followers , no religion followers ,  please skip me if those are important to you .

I am very vegan for the animals first , as that aligns with my core values of :   do no harm as much as possible ,and my  level of compassion and loyalty,   at this point in my life are way bigger than my appetite and  my ego , I know myself well and can’t be a traitor to the cause at all ! So a vegan, or someone truly interested  and who is working towards transitioning to  a vegan diet, if for ethical reasons even better, and an environmentalist,  a big plus as  the two are   Important to me and better aligns with where I am at this point in life.


   
Trying to simplify  in order for the interested to get the picture of what I am ISO ,  I’m not perfect of course and I am not looking for Mr perfect !I am actually not so into the very neat,  very well dressed type and sometimes that is a cover up for an ugly heart . I am more of a straight forward kinda person ( by now you can tell ) , very loyal, honest and  I  don’t believe in sugar coating what should not be ! I am realistic, definitely not living in  la la land, and unfortunately for the religious here I am an atheist, which is not the same as evil or of poor character ( i have that come my way recently) , I just follow my heart and not a book or books , or masters or gods, I  much prefer to do my own thing and have room to question and explore other ways , in other words , I am a free thinker, a liberal of course,  and altruistic, doing good deeds is important to me .
   Things  I like to do in general:
I love nature , love planting flowers  for the   bees, ( which is where i spend some money, otherwise i ' m not much of a shopper) , i enjoy watching wild animals, gardening,  doing anything  in nature or just sitting in the yard, lying in a hammock, watching the trees and the sky … simple priceless pleasures... you will never see me with long nails , as  by now, you know I really enjoy working outside  and i am very hands on !   I stay as active as possible , try to fit in some strengthening exercises daily , some yoga and I enjoy long walks with  my mutt Lily; My other dog is old, blind and diabetic and does not tolerate long walks , so I do some short walks with her alone  as much as she feels like.  I enjoy  long conversations, pick my brains, kinda stuff,   as I am talkative at times,  I like to dance, ( latin blood ) and  like most kinds of music and going to the beach;   I am able and not afraid  to laugh  at myself often, and i am pretty content with my life and who I am; i do  try to keep things simple and stress free as much as possible , not into all the drama and fluff out there !
I work in healthcare and have worked in this area for at  least the past 30 years.
I am well settled in Massachusetts but I have thought about moving….  it never happened , so here has been home for at least the past 20 years, but i am glad to live in a progressive state! 
I have not travelled much lately  as I have a fur family, 2 dogs and 3 cats  some are seniors and I don’t want to leave them with others for long periods , but  truly I would not say I am very interested in traveling too far from home anyways, so if that is very important to you,  than I will not be a good match !   I could say I am a cheap date!   :) as most of what I enjoy are FREE!
Pardon some misspelling occasionally , freaking decreased vision with small prints...a bad combination!
