Here we go....

Yes, here i am in the modern age -- the Blogger world... and where do i begin? I'm a bit of a dark-ages sort of person, liking history and all. Well, I guess the best thing, being a true beginner, is to peruse the "for-beginners" pages of the blog to first of all even figure out how to post anything..."how to make a post". Yes, truly a difficult thing for all of you who have real experience at this... but for beginners like me (wow, i've used that word three times already!!!) Do you know that you have to actually be logged onto your blog to post??? Duh!!! That fact alone took me about half an hour to discover and remedy... alas and alack, the woeful ignorance of how the computer and internet work! Staring at my blogspot page, with its blank canvas and virgin screens, i was put to thinking how this whole thing would work in the first place... sometimes i don't really have a lot of time for rambling or deep thoughts and I especially don't have the ability to be on line for a long time to work on something to post on here due to the wonders of dial-up internet. But i suppose there's probably ways to write off line as well. I'm sure i'll figure that out eventually.
Today, as I sit at my computer, i am keenly aware of all the things going on around me, the blowdryer whirring in the bathroom, the people upstairs walking back and forth and forth and back, the cheeping of the birds who keep me company outside my windows, the smell of damp grass, still trying to shake the dew and rain of the previous evening off, the soft feel of my sheepskin mat under my feet and the tickle of my hair on the back of my neck, reminding me that i desperately need to get a haircut.... and it's amazing how much goes on around us if we would just take time to listen and appreciate things...
Hmm... enough sappy stuff for now... i should probably mosy on along and try to accomplish something in this day....
