the years spent in the Army were the best years of my life. It has been downhill for me ever since. I was happy and found a purpose in my life while in the military. Of course, I am a "half empty" kind of person, so I don't see that things will ever get better. Not at my age, anyway

Best time of my life is now....having the time of my life. I don't remember childhood and my teens I don't want to recall memories from. Young adult years....zilch...horrible. Wisdom....hmmmm, guess I can say I would have never married the 28 yr learing experience with my ex.....
Right now is my favorite time/age in my life...I have done just about everything I have ever wanted to do (except get married and that will come one day ) and I have my family...I have a wonderful job that pays me well, I have a great house that I am buying, I have wonderful friends, and I also have a peace about me that I have not had at any other time in my life...I know where I am and I know where I am going
I wouldn't change a thing, life is never perfect, its what you make of it. I'd have to say that right now is my favorite time period, you never know what tomorrow will bring. I'm old enough to have have made plenty of mistakes and learned not to repeat them. I'm financially secure, no debt, and looking forward to my life beginning at 59....or so they say...:) If I could change the past, and I did, I wouldn't be the same person I am today. No regrets, its all been a wonderful learning experience, thats how you grow as a person.

I had a lot of fun in H.S. and a year or so afterwards. (no need for details :) Probably 40 to 45 was the next best time. Single again, and a bit smarter.

What made it so special?
If you are over 40, does wisdom make up for lost youth?
