The next phase of life

I took Friday off and took off to Palm Springs for a quick golf trip with my close friends. I had initially decided to not go, but changed my mind as I realized that these golf trips will be pretty rare in the near future. It’s a sad realization, but also something I’m glad I’m thinking about today so I can enjoy this stage of my life to the full extent possible.

I turn 33 in a little over a month and for better or worse, I’ve quickly realized that I’m wrapping up one phase of my life and entering into a new one shortly. That was evident on our trip to Palm Springs this past weekend. My friends and I didn’t step foot in a bar and we were in bed by 11 every night.

This is probably the first time we’ve done a guys trip and hadn’t gone out one night. Of course, there’s a lot of positives to this - I felt amazing on Sunday and played some decent golf. It was nice not being hungover on the Sunday after a trip. Whether I like it or not, the transformation has started.

Things will change for a lot of my friends and I soon. Until it all changes officially, I’m going to continue to have fun and enjoy this stage of my life for as long as possible.
