Happy 2010?

The excitement and joy were missing but we made it through our first Christmas without Mas. We slept in and got ready leisurely, which was nice, then Jenny opened a few gifts and we headed south to a very nice dinner on the water in Annapolis. From there we went on to Salisbury where we were able to help serve dinner at the Christian Shelter. I think that will probably be a new tradition for us. Tomorrow is New Years Eve. Our pastor said something at church on Sunday about the New Year and for the first time, I really thought about it. I typically just go day to day now, which, if you know me, is not at all typical but it's how I survive. I would have thought I'd be ready to bid farewell to 2009 and welcome 2010 but I'm not sure that I am. Although not for the whole year, I had Mason here with me in 2009 and I'm not sure that I'm ready to let that go and embrace a new year that he's not physically any part of.
