What year was your best?

[mags]

Age wise? and Why?

[bullygirl979]

Hmm...

33 was kick ass. Mostly because I beat cancer, went to Everest and met P. But 31 was also awesome because I was in awesome shape, ran my first half marathon, bought my house and I was generally just really happy with ME.

28-29. I had lost a bunch of weight, had confidence in myself, and decided to move from CA back to MN. Lots of changes, but all the right ones.

20 for me.
I was in school in Italy with my BF. Single, no responsibilities. It was the most fun ive ever had and the best experience.

37/38 (basically last year). I started to feel like myself again and was able to enjoy my kids & my life on my terms.

28, I think. I was divorced, happy, feeling independant, traveled lots, was in great shape, etc. It was also the year I met M and bought my house (within a couple weeks of each other, per my usual style of doing all the things at the same time)

Twinsies! Lol

I feel like each year is getting better, but I also am still young, so I don't have a whole lot of adult years to compare. 23 was pretty sucky, but that's about the only year that I can complain about!

I'm with UDscoobychick. Each year is getting better and has different things that are awesome.

Last year was pretty awesome though. I traveled a ton. Had great times with friends and family.

30 has been pretty kickass. Stressful, but I think I'm handling the stress and responsibility better than I ever have.

18/19 were pretty fun, but dramatic. I certainly don't wish to go back to that " old me".

I have this feeling my 30s are going to be pretty great.

My 30's are by far my favorite decade.

Probably when I was 24.  I was in school, I had a ton of friends, I didn't have to worry about that much and I got to go on a couple trips.

[spindle92]

I want to believe the best is yet to come.

2 yrs stick out for me so far.

20 - I had a fun job, made the Vikings team and traveled to Japan.

29 - I built a house and bought a boat. I felt really grown up by these purchases.

The last half of 2006 and the first half of 2007 (23-24) were really good years for me. I traveled to Cambodia and Thailand and finally started gaining some confidence in who I was and who I wanted to be. This was also the year I met my H and fell in love. I will never, ever regret that

I think 33 is also going to be a good year for me because I'm taking specific, deliberate steps to change myself and the way I look at the world. I'm working very hard to be less cynical/negative. I'm starting to feel like some passion is being rekindled.

It's really hard for me to choose one year. There have been good and bad in all. 20 was a pretty great year at the time in some ways, but there were also some really rough things that make it a time I don't want to revisit.

I guess 34 has been pretty great. I've definitely come into my own as a single adult woman, seized opportunities and had lots of fun (and lots of sex, some of it really quite good). It's also the year of starting private practice. And it's almost over, so it should end pretty well too. I'm hopeful that 35 will be even better, or at least as good.

[starrieskies]

36 has been pretty hard, but as time goes on, it just keeps getting better. I'm divorced, have my own place, and things are finally starting to go my way. :-)

The beginning of 22 was good too. I was single, living on own, had 2 jobs and was starting a relationship with someone I thought was really wonderful. Time revealed that he was not so wonderful (as you all know), but at that point I was happy.

How many of us who are divorced picked years either before or after our relationships with our ex spouses? Or only at the beginning of our relationships with our ex spouses?

All of my years have been pretty awesome. My best is yet to come...but I feel like that will always be the case.

Mine was after my divorce. I think prior to my divorce I was still learning about who I was and I wasn't necessarily happy with where I was in my life. Which, in my opinion, contributed to me getting caught up in an unhealthy relationship.

I think mine was the year after I was divorced (so 33-34?).  Mostly because I pushed myself to try new things and really figured out how to be me again.

That was me last year after I moved out. I basically worked on reconnecting myself to life and what I enjoy.
