New Years Day. It was nice to sleep in. I decided I was ready to take down Christmas. I didn't get emotional like I usually do. A few deep breaths...Heavy sighs, but no tears. Yea, I'm lame. 
I'm looking forward to the new year instead of regretting the last, that's probably the difference this time. Looking forward not back. I did ok this year, I can recognize where I've done some good and not demoralize myself for what I didn't do. That's a very, very good thing.
To my friends, old and new, I'm proud that you consider me a friend. And to my family, The Maddux's, the Johnson's and Hanson's, and all those special "family" members I've gathered along the way, You're all so AWESOME!
May the Lord bless us and keep us safe throughout the next year.
Happy New Year!!!
