"Ode to Valentine's Day"
Cupid's arrow? Haha,
nary a kindred soul have I,
to share lips embrace not dry,
for heaven's angels await the day when,
perfect lips pass on paths for love's sake,
then with careful aim ... stop time,
for when eyes meet eyes, lips meet lips and kiss meets kiss,
then too will words no longer need word's reply.

It works well to find oneself before trying to find someone else. Me
Marcus Aurelius once penned, stress is the difference between who we are and who we should be. (When those two people start enjoying each others company, you are close to finding yourself.)
Regrets over the past. and fears of the future are the twin thieves that rob us of the present.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing. Chained by his servitude to procrastination, he avoids some suffering and sorrow, but only at the expense of learning, changing, growing and loving. Me
Time can be our best friend or our worst enemy.... it cures most ills but ultimately kills us all. Me
The lessons learned in heavy seas are ne'er ever forgotten by thee. Me
Mistakes or misunderstandings .... second chances? When the value of what will be lost is greater than the pain of loving another, the path becomes clearer .... not less difficult nor rewarding. Me
Wisdom comes from good judgement, good judgement comes from experience, experience comes from poor judgement and poor judgement comes from lack of wisdom.
Conclusion: Wisdom is just recompense for our investments in blunders, goofups, failures and the aging process. Me
All you get when you squeeze the man out of a genius......is alot of hard work. Me
Truth, like air in a balloon, when trapped in a lie, will always escape. Me
Coincidence is Man's literary effort to take God out of a timely blessing. Me

rofound moments of people's lives including their final moments, let me tell you a secret. People facing death don't think about what degrees they have earned, what positions they have held, or how much wealth they have accumulated. At the end, what really matters is who you loved and who loved you. That circle of love is everything, and is a great measure of a past life. It is the gift of greatest worth."
~Dr. Bernadine Healy
Rings and jewels are not gifts but merely apologies for gifts .. for the only true gift is a portion of thyself. Emmerson
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime .... when you figure out which it is, then you know what to do..the joy and heartache is in the discovery.
Marriage by all means marry .... if you marry well you will be happy, if not .... you will become a philosopher.
Socrates
Dating is like rowing a boat, but if you find yourself going in circles, its time to change the crew. Me
The true measure of a ship is not found in how big the storm, but rather how well she weathers the winds and the waves. Me
There are reasons and there are ways but rarely reasonable ways when considering a thing hopeless, for that is only faith.
“The riches of life are in the acts of people. Real happiness and joy is in the little kindnesses and the thoughtfulness of each other. The beauties of eternity can be in your own heart and in our making, here and now, upon the earth.” Elnona Mel..

More about Ron:"A little about me... I have been described physically as a cross between Tom Selleck and Clint Eastwood with a sprinkle of Sponge Bob Square Pants.. I am easily drawn into a conversation with a smile but.. I beat a hasty retreat at signs of control or self absorption. I like a slice of lemon with my root beer, a slice of cheddar cheese on my jam toast. I enjoy motorcycle rides in the mountains, when the weather is too bad for water skiing you'll find me sailing, throwing a stick in a pond for my dog (Koda is a petite, ubber smart, all black German shepherd) skiing when its steep and deep, cooking/baking for friends, spending time with my children, eating jam toast while watching the sun come up.
Although loathe to throw myself into the dating world once again....I am reminded that it only takes one.
Who am I looking for? Someone who can receive kindness as graciously as giving it, someone who's default facial position is a smile, someone who enjoys life in all it's seasons and who can love completely today without regard to regrets over the past nor fears of the future. If you can laugh at life, love, mistakes and my jokes...I like you already.".
