Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story... Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love – for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years... Nurture strength of spirit to shield you from misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness... Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul... It is still a beautiful world... ~ Max Ehrmann ~ Desiderata

Looking for antiques...going to antique auctions. Collecting different items from auctions and flea markets. Sewing. Interior design. Looking at cookbooks and trying new recipes out.

I am a small town southern girl turned city girl and my heart lies in both places. I try to be a consummate optimistic who sees the glass half-full even when it's only drops in the bottom. My wish for my page is to have the mood of warm gentleness, relaxing, romantic, playful and fun and a quiet sense of luxury. My life is sheer madness for the most part, but it is my life and I try to live it with honesty and integrity. My only agenda on here is to make friends. I have found a few really wonderful friends who I have known now for several years, and I adore them. They know who they are. Most of my friends are just comment friends, and I appreciate the comments they send. I understand the time it takes to make, create and send them out. I love to send comments also and I try to send them as often as I can. Usually it is several times a week, or everyday if possible. I have no interest in romantic involvement, I am already in a very loving relationship and I am happy with my man. I am very much in love. I do not like porn, but I am not a prude and don't mind sensual comments, as long as they are artful and classy and not directed towards me. My family is first and foremost but my friends are very dear to me. I like glam, chic, lux, aesthetics and a miscellany of the arts.

Intellectual, exciting and engaging conversation. Fashion musings, antiques, outdoor flea markets, interior design, comforting answers, fairy tales, wishes, hopes, dreams, the ocean and the beautiful and mysterious that live inside. Random acts of loving kindness. Tropicana roses, my favorite. Avant Garde.

Disingenious people, liars and bullies. Drama kings and queens. Dirty and nasty people. Men who hit women, and anyone who is mean to a child. Negativity in any form.
