Do you think your best years are in front of you, or behind you?

Why?

I enjoyed reading all these answers to the question. I see a few of the oldies are thinking the way I have started thinking!!

Mine are behind me but each day is a blessing. The memories are great and if I had to so it again, there's little I would change. Life is for living, so who knows, maybe our gratest accomplishments are still in front of us, so I enjoy every freakin' moment.

By any "measurable" criteria I've been able to think of, my best years are way behind me. At my age I've invested way more to the past than I'll ever have time for in the future. However, as I contemplate a better future; it would make me very happy to leave a smile on the face, a tear in the eye and an empty space in the heart knowing that however I've touched people, it was always good. I'd like that... JT

hmmm most likely it is in front of me and I haven't seen it yet? Why? Hmm could be because I am so nearsighted or something, I need my glasses....

I would like to think they are in front of me, but judging from the downward trend in the past 11 years, it gives me pause!! Something very tremendous would have to happen and include big changes in the health care and retirement system of the USA.

I'm getting to the point where "best" is kinda meaningless. My life is what it is and I'm amazed that I have one. Has been and continues to be a learning experience for me. I like the parts where I feel the love is flowing, I don't like the parts where I feel hate is blowing. And I never know what I'll wake up to each day, which keeps it pretty interesting.

the best is yet to come, why? because I don't know what's there!

surely the best years for everyone ended in 1968 with the Sgt Pepper album? Am I right or am I right?

I am living them now. Why? Because I am living them now!
