The best time of your life

The best time is right now - that's why it's called the present.

In my experience, the age of 19 is the best time of life ( of course 20 could be better im yet to find that out :P), I go to uni 1 day a week, work 2 nights a week, go out wekends and golf 3-5 times a week + soccer/cricket (depending on season) + the gym) and am fit and fully healthy. I guess I don't own a yacht or house, but I got a set of golf clubs and a 4by (what else could one need?).

Hi Mark,
yes your right, physically its up to & including mid to late 30's, finanacially it's 40 to 50's , and after that your too old to enjoy either LOL, when my step dad was alive I used to ask him how he was and he always used to say well I woke up today...........
every days a good day as they say, if you dont believe that try missing one,
regards ,
Dave

Every day above ground has to be good

The best time of my life?

Just before I discovered this site :-)

I'd hate to add up all the hours I have spend lurking around here and now I know about lots of toys that I don't have and was previously unaware of their existence.

From my experience I hope you have got it right Mark, a few years behind you but heading that way and looking forward to a few less financial worries - doubt if I'll ever get there on that one

20 to 30 years old. You are carefree, physically fit, sexually active, have just bought your 1st 4x4 & are doing everything your parants said you couldn't. Any older & your body starts to ache, you worry about life, the kids give you hell & both sex & 4x4ing start to take a back seat :-))
Cheers Craig..............

Growing Older is mandatory. Growing up is optional.
It's just that ..well my memory is starting to go. And also, my memory is starting to go.

There is no "Best Time", unless you are lying on your death bed reflecting on your life's experiences.

Regardless of one's age, you are (or should be) always learning something new and experiencing another of life's mysteries. As you get older, you mat slow down a little, but there's nothing wrong with that.

So, as long as you have your health, reasonable mobility and hopefully someone to share your adventures with, you should have a "smile on the dial". A bottle of good red helps immensely and if you are camping in some remote location, communicating with nature, then that particular period has to be as close to the "Best Time" you will get, until the next one.

Is that too deep?

Whilst walking in Tasmania, we met this old man, possibly in his 80's, who had a fascinating life story to tell. When asked about the best time in his life, he stated that the first 12 months were his best experiences, After some silence, someone had the courage to ask why. He confidently and without hesitation mentioned just one word:

"Breastfeeding"!

I turned 57 last month. I have yet to read my obituary in the local paper and cannot find a headstone in the "dead" centre of town with my name on it so I reckon every day is the best part of my life. I exercise every day - walking and cycling - eat fairly simply but well, enjoy a nice red or white depending on the weather and just really enjoy life. Might have something to do with the fact that I have been happily divorced for 23 years too. I have my 4x4 and soon will have my CT. Have my home and good friends, good books and music (my preference there)
I have a book on the shelf above the PC that is called "The Precious Present" by Spencer Johnson MD - reread it every so often just to remind me that the only part of our lives that we can have any control over " is this very instant - if it's past there is not a damn thing you can do about it and who knows what the next moment holds for us - I don't want to know - that what makes life so exciting.

My 2 cents worth

Cheers
