Most memorable years of your life ???

[Quasar44]

My college days at univ of Arizona in Tucson

First time in my life I had freedom and the weather was amazing coming from the MW

I also had friends and did parties

This was mid to late 1990s

Even the first time I heard classic rock and did drugs

My first hours after leaving the incubator. Everything was so new and wonderful. G-d gave me life through my mother and the wonders of science which weren't at our disposal a century prior allowed my life to be possible.

If one digs deep into the brain the memory is there. I haven't found mine (I don't think), but one can still feel it if they use their imagination.

The years I've spent with my wife.

When in my 20's (70 now) I lived a nomadic existence, traveling around and not really giving a crap about anything serious, just enjoying it one day at a time. It was a different America then.

First I was eleven and then thirteen.
No honors came my way but those were the wonderful years.

Memorable in a bad way was the year I had a relative die almost every damn month. I didn't even want to answer the phone if I saw a relative's number come up on the caller ID. Think my work thought I was up to something because I was having to take so many days off for funerals LOL. It was like the Grimm Reaper had written his honey do list on my family tree.

Did you feel much safer in the 1970s than now ??

Well, in the 70's.....I rode my bike to work and to school.
I NEVER felt threatened.
I started Work at 11, and I rode my bicycle to school, yes PUBLIC SCHOOL, with my friends.
We totally enjoyed this.....Have you ever had this experience?

I guess I've been really blessed; I also think I look at things a little strange. My answer to "what is the best time of your life" is usually "right now". shrug All the stages have had difficulties but they've also had lots of joys and overcoming stuff

I am going to have to match Sue on this one, I have great memories but each year seems to top the last.

My wife and I have been very blessed the last 31 plus years
