I have added another blog to my Google Reader list. As usual, I found it through the Glamour.com website, but this time it was one of the posts instead of in the comments. For those of you with a similar blog addiction, here it is ...

If you are averse to swearing, don't read it. Serious potty mouth going on here. But it's amazing and truthful and the guy is an AWESOME photographer. I love the way he and his wife are documenting her pregnancy ... and how jealous am I of how GORGEOUS she looks even while pregnant.
Anyhow, check it out. Oh, and their son is adorable! Such a little man.
Life isn't perfect for them and Ryan (the blogger) tells all about it. And in one post he calls out all the people who are putting on a facade and making everything seem perfect. After reading a bunch of his postings, I started feeling bad about the world in its current state and how everything could fall apart in a second.
Then I remembered ... this is why I don't watch the news. It's not that I want to be ignorant and detached from what is going on in the world. I just can't handle all the bad news. My depression makes things crappy enough; add bad news on top of that and I get bogged down. I would rather try to focus on the beautiful things in life and leave the rest as it is. I don't always succeed, but the trying is the important part.
So I have a new blog I love, but I will have to read it one post a day. No more than that. And I'll have to balance it with a lot of looking and playing with my son. And smiling. Because while life isn't perfect, there are certainly elements of beautiful in every day.

The news is SO depressing.
That's part of the reason I want to be a journalist, I want to tell HAPPY stories for once :-)
