Online Dating - IMGR8 - Just Checkin it Out

I'm am a mother first and foremost, I have one girl and one boy, whom I love very, very much. My kids are a huge priority in my life. I am a smart, passionate and caring person. I guess my biggest fault is I try too hard to make others happy. I have been raised to treat others as I would like to be treated. Unfortunatley, in this day and age, that seems to only get you stepped on and used. Maybe someday I'll learn, but until then, I am what I am. I'm a huge hockey fan, in fact I like most all sports (golf is a little boring tho). Lightening storms scare me but also excite me. Soft rain fall makes me want to stay in bed and cuddle up all day. Little messages, in any form, from a lover drive me crazy knowing they are thinking about me. A warm smile meant only for you, a touch as they pass, a kiss on the neck, all things I find very romantic. Someone who takes note and shows interest in the small details can impress me. GIVE and TAKE in a relationship, along with open communication, both talking and listening, be it friends, family, or someone I may eventualy give my heart to, is absolutly essential. I don't like drug users. I quit smoking a few years back and don't like to be anywhere around it. I'm not big on the bar sceen and will not go to them on my own. If I'm on a date or out with friends, that's different. I like my friends to have a sense of humor. Life is way too short to be serious all the time. Most importantly, enjoy what life offers. With so many things happening in this world, you've got to take each precious moment and savor it. Live for that next wonderful moment you are blessed with. As we grow up we learn that even the one person you never expected to ever let you down, most likely will at some point. You will have your heart broken, probably more than once, and it only gets harder each time to recover. You too will break hearts, so always remember how it felt when yours was broken. You’ll fight with your best friend. You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did. You’ll cry because time is passing too fast. Eventually, you’ll lose someone you loveforever. So take lots of pictures, laugh as much as you can, make as many happy memories as possible and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.
