Enjoying the second act

I remember years ago Jane Fonda wrote a book about enjoying the third act of life or something related to her turning 60 and enjoying her next thirty years. As I am now firmly in my thirties, you could call this stage of life from 30 to 60 as the "second act." It's funny because after spending a weekend with thirty of my "closest acquaintances" in a beach house in Holden Beach, NC for a friend's wedding and hearing friends woes of family scenarios I know what this act will be all about. These thirty years are all about letting things go. You realize that few things are that important to make a big fuss over them. The focus comes off of you doing things just for you and instead focuses more on others. It's a nice thought that hopefully gets perfected as the decades of this act continue.

Here are some photos from my weekend at the beach:
