Well, I am very new to this so don't expect too much right off. I thought to start off explaining why I chose the username Sparrow. I know everyone has heard the expression go to your "happy place". Well my happy place often has music playing when I get there and one of the songs is about the Sparrow, which of course comes from the Bible verse "His eye is on the Sparrow". Some days I feel I need all the help I get. I noticed one member here caught my meaning without me explaining it. One of the definitions for Sparrow says that the Sparrow "is noted for its familiary, its voracity, its attachment to its young, and its fecundity". Maybe not exactly flattering (the whole eating a lot thing), but not far off base.

My life is a hectic, unorganized mess. I am working on it though. I am often heard going through the house muttering to myself "one bite at a time"- which is the punchline to the old joke - How do you eat an elephant? My family seems to have figured out that if I am saying my mantra to run and hide or else I'll put them to work on one of the many projects out of my notebook.

I am so excited about this site, but also a little overwhelmed. I am clueless about what to post where, and when. I guess I am also worried about how I will come off, having been made fun of and put down most of my life for the way I tend to veiw things, but that's probably a subject for a later date. I wonder if rants and soapboxing are acceptable in blogs??? I shall have to explore and see. For now I'm just happy I will have a place to express my more milder musings.

I guess I better check on everyone one more time and head off to bed myself. They sure weren't joking about this place being addictive, but at least it's a productive vice.

Sweet Dreams!!!
