I would be happy and grateful that he actually acknowledged all of you. Try to think of it as a nice gesture from a friend/neighbor. When the opportunity arises, thank him for the card. I would still keep my expectations very low because of the holidays and the fact that MLCers tend to come out to play during this time of the year.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
