I'm with the now crowd. I can honestly say I've never been happier or more fulfilled than I am now. And I'm over 50 and dont think I've lost my youth, it's just slowed down a little!

I think my favourite time is probably now Lass, I dont have the same anxieties that I did when I was younger, Im altogether a more confident person, have learned many lessons from my many mistakes and have learned how to be proactive in my life as opposed the being the victim I allowed myself to be for so many years - Im loving it
Every stage of my life to this point has been my favorite for different reasons:
I really enjoyed childhood because of loving parents, 4 pesky older brothers, a myriad of cousins, wonderful pets and the greatest Grand-Parents a kid could ask for. My life was filled with wonder.
As a teen because I was beginnin to realize that I was different from the other kids - when they had part-time jobs, I ran a trap-line. When they were partying, I was fishing and hunting. I was just beginning to discover me. My life was filled with with wonder.
In my twenties because my health was at it's prime. I was running long distance, bicycling and rodeoing (I rode bareback broncs), bowling on a league every Thursday, and working at a physically demanding job while trying to learn how to be a husband. My life was filled with wonder.
In my thirties because I'd started driving truck in my late twenties and could now travel and get paid for it. I was also a part-time semi-professional gunfighter for a local tourist attraction. In the summers I spent time as a living history docent at a nearby historic site and, through that, ended up traveling to schools in 5 different states and teaching kids how things really were. My life was filled with wonder.
And now I'm in my latter 40's and living with my beautiful soul-mate in some of the prettiest country God ever created. I'm still discovering who I am and, more importantly, who we are together. I've got a good job, a decent home, and an amazing wife. My life is filled with wonder!
I skipped over a lot of the food stuff - this isn't an autobiography - and sure there've been tough times in every stage; Heartbreaks, illness, physical injury and just plain lousy luck - but for some reason, those memories aren't quite as clear as they used to be...
When everybody all over you tells that you are good person one day you will belive them. I belived them now :) I hope I will not have life experience which can bring me on the dark side.
