For me, 2013 is a year of tens. Ten years of marriage. Ten years of taking care of business. 

I achieved both this summer. I didn’t notice the latter until today, however, after spotting my innocuous copyright of 2003–2013.

In many ways, ten is nothing. Just the base measure of the decimal system. A drop in the lifetime bucket. A grain of sand in the eternities.

But to me it’s something—at least in this context. It instills pride, gives me a sense of accomplishment, and motivates me to reach the next multiple of ten.

Consider this my written confetti.

Thank you, Lindsey. Thank you, Clients. More here.
