Just realized that I didn’t even have kids in that last decade, and now I have like 30 of ’em. That’s wild.
I did have The Wife, but we hadn’t fully built a life together yet. I didn’t drink coffee. I didn’t have a full-time job talking about the Cubs. I didn’t have some of the best coworkers ever in Michael, Luis, Eli, Bryan, and Luke. I didn’t have a great sense of what I wanted to be in this life. I didn’t always feel comfortable in my own shoes, and I didn’t feel like it was OK to feel that way sometimes.
I didn’t become perfect over the course of that last decade, and I won’t become perfect over this one. I did start to feel a lot more like a happier version of myself, though, and I hope that continues for another 10 years or more. And, as it relates to this space, what I hope most of all in this decade is that we can all of us – our little Cubs/sports/whatever community – keep finding comfort in shared joys (and pains … ). That we can keep laughing and supporting and challenging and not taking ourselves too seriously.
Much love to every single one of you who reads or comments or skims or critiques or enjoys or shares. I see you. I appreciate you. It meant the world to me in that past decade, and it means more each day. Happy New Year, Happy New Decade, Happy New Day.
THANK YOU.
