When were the "good times" for you?

There are always good times ... At every time of life.  I do have to say that growing up in the 60's and 70's were pretty darn great though!!

18 to 22 and its been so long ago, I'm guessing.

Most recently, yesterday and this morning.

Tomorrow is looking pretty good too.

Anyday that this arrthritis is not killing me

60's, 70's and 80's were the best for me.

The here and now is pretty good!

"Today is a gift. That's why they call it the present."

The good times are now. Ever since I began college, my life has been pretty excellent. I'm trying to make this last as long as I can.

It's all about my perception. So, it's always been and always will be "good times".

Today was a good day. I got to play in the dirt and planted about 3 dozen plants. AND my husband emptied the dishwasher.

Life is what you make it. It really is the simple things that make it worth living.

I think my good times are yet to come.

Zack, this is an Excellent question.

To me an excellent question makes you stop and think . . . Not just on the surface, but really search through memories to get a clear answer.

That being said, I know that what we recall each time in our long term memory is slightly altered . . Depending on the experience it can be an amplified "Good" or an amplified "Bad" . . . So from what I can recall of my youth, and be somewhat sure about with regards to being "Accurate" . . . I did enjoy just being able to have fun, with no real bills or worries to hold me down . . . I impress this upon my children as they grew up . . I wanted them to get the full experience of their youth and embrace the times when worries were at an all time low . . .

Now that I am an adult, and able to fully view the world as I was meant to, and invest time and energy into my family, and my job . . . It might be this time right now. Although my joints ache a bit more after exercise, and maybe a feel the gravity a bit more pulling down on me . . . This is tempered with the clear wisdom, I have and the appreciation I have for the "Now" . . . Learning to enjoy the "Now" and not dwell on the past, or look only to tomorrow, takes some effort, but it is worth it.
