I'm Not Done Yet

Easy to laugh. Passionate about some things but willing to listen to other ideas. Conservative in lifestyle and politics. Empathetic I'll cry over someone else's pain and ignore my own). Resilient, independent, fair but the grandchildren and my grown children would describe me as strict when needed. I love too easily and deeply but have become a little guarded and cynical - I have a built in b.s. meter put there by life experience. I have great faith but do not press it on others. I love an intelligent conversation and don't mind a little debate if it is calm and respectful. I am a bilateral b/k amputee with other medical issues (stemming from being born with spina bifida). I put that last because it does not define me and has little to do with who I am. I joined this site hoping to find a male friend who has similar health issues and understands the challenges along with overcoming the same.

Favorite booksI'm reading a lot of James Patterson right now but I don't really have any favorite books. I enjoy reading and if the book is really good, I have a hard time putting it down until it I'm finished.
Idea of funHmmm....doing just about anything outside that I can still do. I actually enjoy some work activities like gardening and cooking. I enjoy fishing and hunting. Sometimes, watching an enjoyable movie is fun. Helping a friend can be great fun. Today I enjoyed watching my grandchidren play in a local lake. Sitting quietly and watching the sunset or enjoying a cup of coffee while it rises is enjoyable.
In other words, I have :fun" with a lot of things. Shoooot, even vacuuming can be fun if you have the right kind of music going.

Goal in lifeTo everyday expecting what may come next. To laugh as much as possible. To get as many hugs along the way as I can. To live peaceably and contented with myself and my situation whatever comes. To hopefully leave this earth having done no great harm and maybe even having done a little good along the way. To know that I have loved and been loved.
