Shell225: You are very very right. I say all the time that my life isnt black and white!! I believe that every moment of every day is a gift and that its important to stop and feel the day, just pause, listen to the birds, feel the wind and the sun, the rain.

I agree honesty to oneself is the most important. PI - Personal Integrity.

I've been reading the Dalai Lama - he speaks often that change must come from the individual, someone must start it, that it begins with the person, then the people, and that government is always slow to follow change. World peace, solving all the worlds problems ... 'the main responsibility lies on your own shoulders'. Its true, it all has to start from within the person.


110% agree Shell. I also feel that if one spends enough time taking in the natural world, and not just the man-made world, then things start to become much clearer.

It really is a beautiful would that we've been given, with all the resources any of us could possibly want or need. It's human greed, hate and selfishness that has caused all of our societal / global problems.

No living thing in a world offering so much, should be found starving, in poverty or/ alone...

In response to: In the last year or so what have your learned that has a positive impact in your life?

Me, I learnt I really need to get glasses and to talk less and listen more.


Hi EliteOnewave

With me I tended to throw myself into my job for the last 2 years, and kept pretty well to myself, after my amicable parting with my ex partner of 13yrs.
I found it really quite hard to go out and meet other people as I dont have many friends that can go out they are mostly married and tending to there children, which is very cool, been there done that, and not in to just going out at night on my own.
So I did a bit of soul search and got back into my art and now venture out to many places during the day, point my car, on sunny days roof down music on, head out to wherever is beautiful... and enjoy what is around me.
It was quite scary at first, doing outside things around people that you don't know, but I feel I have slowly chipped away at that, and realise my own happiness and gratefulness and look back at what I have achieved, and what I love to share with people.
I suppose, I pulled a'lot of my strength from my job, as in my job I am dealing with many many people mostly men (building industry) and very confident with important decisions I have to make that impact on my contractors. Many would think think I would go home and go out a be the social butterfly (so never really got asked out for a date) but I could see they were interested, and me, too shy....(really) to make any first move.
but little did they know...I was actually quite lonely;

Now I take life not so hesitantly, and yes its certainly is a good place to be..

So if you ever see a meandering lady with a sketch book in her hand, kicking back at the waterfalls, smiling at life on her own, well that would me..lol

OK, so with no messages or flowers as yet, I thought I'd update my CS profile and maybe add a little more of who I am and what I believe in the About me and who I'm looking for section. I borrowed some of the passages written earlier on here as I think they sum me up better as a person and perhaps offer a little more than just another standard singles profile.

Here's the link - do u think I need to add anything more to my description? I sort of don't want to give away everything on the first viewing, but I definitely want to receive messages and receive more interest in my profile..



Would really appreciate your help. cheers

Well dear lady believe it or not finding yourself, finding that piece within has many great rewards in rebuilding many aspects of our lives. Rebuilding one self takes time, sometimes longer if you don’t have anybody there just to listen without offering misguided advice. There are times in all of our lives were the in the song “I am the great pretender” by Platters explain that place.

Yes.. I agree, thank you

and sometimes shorter time span, having no one there.
So you can only deeply search within yourself, as at times we must, just listen to our selves..
Very cool....

and I love "Freddy Mercury" rendition.

I had a look and I think your profile is lovely (if only I was younger...)! My only suggestion would be to put up a happier photo. Good luck!
