No Good News

Have you noticed there hasn't been much good stuff happening in the world? Reading the paper, watching the news, and even some of the personal news that I've been hearing has all been bad.

Most of it is the economy of course. But on top of all the news I absorb, a lot of people I talk to think the country is going to hell in a hand basket. People are down. Mind you, I don't see the world through rose-colored lenses, but I try to keep a positive light on things. But lately, it's been tough.

I know I'm incredibly blessed with a good marriage, great kid, another on the way, stable source of income, loving friends and family. So maybe I should just shut up and consider myself lucky... But I'd like to hear some GOOD news for once. Anyone got some?

Naptime Noises

ESK is supposed to be napping right now. But as usual, she's playing in her crib instead.

A sampling of things I hear coming from her room:

"Come on! Come on!"
"Oh man!"
"Ready, set, GOOOO!"
"1, 2, 3, 7...."

I wish I had a video monitor to check out what's going on in there. It sounds like so much fun!
