no regrets - mid forties - - struck down with cancer and you just have to adapt and survive. I havent been a great one for longing - oh I WISH I hadnt got cancer - - - I did.
Yes, my 30's was my favourite decade. I was my most confident, the slimmest I've ever been, good job that I loved and a good social life. I often wish I could go back and do it all over again ! I'm not particularly unhappy now, but I miss my parents and always will and that has changed my life.
Me too -definately 30's -full of energy, full of confidence I felt the world was my oyster. Unfortunately at the time I was stressed out constantly and had no time to think how lucky I was.
Having said that, now I'm in my 60's (just lol!) I feel this could just become the best time of my life -less work, money in the bank and more time to enjoy ourselves and treat the grand kids.
I'd go for my thirties/early forties. I just didn't appreciate how lucky I was. I learned to do the Fosbury Flop aged 40. I was tearing around however, working, taking kids here and there and looked forward to some free time.
Now (early 70s) I just wish everything, especially knees, would stop hurting so I could dash around and ... but the kids are doing their own child-rearing. :(
