Hi, I've tried this on several penpal sites, but either get nothing in my inbox, at best a 'smile' on paid sites that I courteously respond to with a 'smile', or worse, flirtatious notes from married men (good grief!) that I simply delete. This is my one last try for e-pals from around the world who can see beyond color, race, region, religion, caste, ethnicity, nationality, and all those 'isms' that divide the world today. I'm interested in long-term friendship having lost some good friends over the years. My peace of mind comes from being myself (being natural), watching nature and admiring its beauties, sounds, silence and those delightful little creatures; listening to music (that is really music, not noise) when I can, not harboring any envy or ill-will, spending time with loved ones, and living each day as it comes despite its trials, doing my best and leaving the rest to Someone Up There.
