ETA 7/1/24 - Thanks so much for all your kind responses - I'm a little behind, but will answer all messages in order received.I'm somewhat reserved/shy, but very open to making friends and learning about other people's life experiences. I love to read and learn new things, and always have my nose in a book. I love to make art just for the fun of it, and am always trying new crafts and hobbies. I volunteer a lot. I love my job but am looking forward to retiring in the next decade or so. I'm very interested in music, religion (study of, as well as practicing), philosophy, art, and literature.
