Don’t worry, this won’t be one of those look-back posts where I sum up everything that happened to us last year.
Though, admittedly, 2015 was a big year.
But it’s been a big decade, for that matter.
Only they don’t have names for 15-year increments. At least they don’t have common names everyone can use like decade or century.
There’s actually an old name for 15-year cycles that comes from medieval Europe called the indiction and which had to do with a periodic reassessment of an agricultural or land tax.
What I’m talking about is the last 10 years of our lives, a cycle that I can’t quite fit nicely into a decade.
