One thing I don't miss from those times was the nationwide 55 mph speed limit. Took freakin FOREVER to get anywhere.

I’m going with the 60’s and 70’s. Great cars, great music, no cell phones, computers, social media, or AIDS. Just a lot of freedom and fun.

I believe as we pick and choose what the “best” time was, we should acknowledge the gift of simply BEING alive-
There are good things and bad things about anytime in the past and will be in the future-
I have lived since 1959, and lived in some great times-
Yes, many wonderful memories of the past-
But living NOW in these times I have benefited from modern medicine and prosthetics-
I am alive today because I am living now in these modern times-
Because I live in modern times I will be able to spend more time with those that I love and are able to help guide the young ones when they listen-
I have had the blessing to able to say things I almost didn’t get to say-
I have been given a second chance to live because I live with in these modern times-
So to sum things up, for me, I’m grateful that I lived in these modern times-
Each of us have control over some of the things that make up your life. It's up to each of us to make the best of the situation you are in. Steve has done that. He woke up one day in what would be Hell for all of us, but he chose not to stay there, adapted to the situation he found himself in, and is working his way out of that now. He has The Attitude, and that is the one thing you can always control.

Life is precious. We don’t have forever. We have now. This moment. We can choose to love our lives now.

I just can't go with the 80's because of the stupid clothes we used to wear. I would serious burn any remaining pictures of zipper jackets and parachute pants. Music was pretty bad during that decade, with a few exceptions. I think 10's & 20's music is bad overall too. The 70's 90's and 2000's were all pretty good imo from a cultural point of view, up until Obama took office in 2009 and pushed for everyone to hate whitey.

Had a bunch of good times in the back seat of my 65 Pontiac Bonneville in the 70's

The 70s were a lost decade for the stock market and ended with crippling inflation and a recession. The 80s were much better. I think it’s more about your age than a particular decade. We tend to remember our younger years fondly because we were less aware, had less responsibility and felt bulletproof because we were vibrant. The post above is accurate even though it seems most remember the ‘70s as a happy carefree time. I clearly remember my father telling he really didn’t know how my generation was going to make the way the economy was going at that time. We were sitting in very long lines just hoping to get gas among other issues. It wasn’t all that great economically. Having said that, I was in my late teens and early 20’s during the 70s and sex and music was everywhere. 😀
  Courage - knowing something will hurt and still doing it. Stupidity - knowing something will hurt and still doing it. That’s why life is difficult

That was a great era. Some of the best music came from that time frame too.

. Amen. I was thinking about long term plans the other day and caught myself not acknowledging the Lords will- maybe I won’t be around, etc.
