Find one beautiful thing each day and carry it with you . Your day will be filled with smiles

Truly, just an average man here with a lust for life and a need to know more about love and living.I just turned another year older and loving being at this age. Every decade has been amazing. I keep growing and learning,some good some sad, but always absorbing all that is around me. I enjoy communicating with others and am always ready to start friendships. We are all on here looking for something, all be it lust or life long commitments, we are connected. So, that being the case, open up and be friendly and say Hello.I will gladly say Hi back .

So, personally...

I love being an artist of life. Seeing one beautiful thing in the world every day that gets me a happy thought during those times of stress.

On my own time, I can be found reading a book (I love fiction and bio's and as of lately I have enjoyed cultural studies)....After a good reading session , you can find me at the local farmers market searching for a delectable treasure that I can cook for friends or family, add a good bottle of wine and we are talking happy man here. A good beer ain't bad either!

For my moments when I have to express, painting or drawing gets the juices flowing for me and if I am inspired by a friend or lover to paint them, I promise I will see the true beauty you are.

I am a lover of the great outdoors and prefer to be as naked as I can be, where ever I can be .It is not sexual just sensual and serene for me to be as nature intended. Just a walk in nature naked, recharges my ability to cope with our stressed filled lives. I also LOVE the rain. It sings to me and makes me feel alive. The sun, although necessary, is sharp and hard to me. There is nothing like making love in the summer during a warm shower. Ah Bliss!

Music is a must in my life .Any music but rap and angry hate filled blah. Those musicians may be speaking to someone, but NOT to me. They are just screamers and angry, sad people who have not found the beauty of life. Any other music I can embrace.

I am also in love with my family. My Mom is a cool person and she has her life and I have mine..but you know what, I have taught her as much as she has taught me and at my age and hers we are still teaching one another and having a great time as students of life together. In the USA we are taught by society to forget and shun the elderly...shame, shame, shame, thus one of my reasons for leaving America, where I was born and moved to Europe, where Life in the Golden years is respected and honored.

The other reason and final straw for me was the vile election of 2016, when the antichrist was put into office. I saw that America was turning against humanity and itself so, I no longer could call myself an American. I left that all behind and became an ex patriot and now citizen of Portugal, a gem for me and my family of living life peacefully and respectfully.

I am a traveler and taster of life and the foods of life. I will always be that man.
