10 for the 10s

Remember when I used to sit around in coffee shops all day, doing nothing, and whining about how I didn't have a job and how scared I was to be settled?

Wasn't that fun?

(Side note: rereading those posts have made me realize that my blogging has been crap lately. I'm going to work on it, don't worry.)

It has been an incredibly wonderful couple of weeks off. I went home and played games and hung out with my family and old, comfortable friends.

And now I'm in Tucson. And it's warm. Yesterday I laid in a hammock reading for 3 hours. And this afternoon I'm sitting in a coffee shop blogging. Yeah, it's basically my dream life.

But tomorrow, it's back to the grind. I'm refreshed and ready. And I have snow boots. So I'm pretty much set.

On another note, I've decided that the 10s are going to be my decade. The Decade of Kate. I'm not really sure what that consists of, but I'm positive it's going to be awesome.

Here are some things that are going to happen in the Decade of Kate (aka 10 things that will happen in the 10s):

1) I'm going to turn 30. Weird!

2) The Cardinals are going to win the World Series.

3) I'm going to live somewhere for more than a year.

4) I'm going to laugh a lot. Like way more than I did in the 00s.

5) I'm going to travel to at least 4 continents.

6) I'm going to dream less and do more.

7) I'm going to love my job.

8) I'm going to love people.

9) I'm going to love my life.

10) I'm going to figure out the balance. Strength vs. Vulnerability, Adventures vs. Roots, Humility vs. Pride.

Oh, man, this is going to be a good decade. I'll keep you posted.

What are your 10?
