"stepping foot into 2010"

...I read that on someone's blog and it made me think that stepping into 2010 is like stepping into a swimming pool or into the ocean on a hot day....at first it is slow going...not sure you want to make the effort, not really comfortable and then after awhile you finally get yourself emerged and it feels great...even refreshing! This is how I think 2010 will go. By the end of the year we will have a good feeling about all the "suffering" we went through to get there...especially if someone throws us a blow up floaty thing....
