Merry Christmas and Fare thee Well

Well, this will most likely be it for 2009, since I am off to Queensland after work today. So, thank you very much for reading along this year and I hope you all have a joyful Christmas and New Year. Someone here at work actually gave me a scanner they don't need anymore yesterday, so 2010 on Something This Foggy Day might be a year with more pictures.

I might go out with a link to this post called Holidays Clarify our Pain over at Practical Theology for Women.

(I have to confess, I don't especially like going to Christmas - because it is hardly "home" I go to these days - by myself every year, feeling like the family freak (and there's always those people who ask you if you have any "news", though I think they've all given up now). And every year I come back and can't help the hope that maybe the next one will be different, and there will be someone to go with and some hope of having a family of my own. But then the next Christmas rolls around the same as the last, I get on a plane by myself again, and the hope gets dimmer with each one that passes. So that's why I like this post.)

And so goodbye, and God bless.
