1994: Moved out of my parents' house and started to experience life without constant chaos. Got my first real job. Felt alive.

2000: Spent a year on my own, was in college, loving life, doing what I really wanted when I wanted. Felt free.

2006: It's too long a story to tell, but after a very rough start to the year for our family, I found myself doing a lot of thinking. I decided that life was for living and did some things I always wanted to but never really thought I would. I enjoyed every minute! I realized what was important to me, pulled those things closer and pushed out the stuff that didn't matter. Very positive paradigm shift.

For some reason this thread brings a certain Frank Sinatra song to mind.

Probably the year that I was in the 5th grade when I had allot of friends and no one picked on me and my teachers weren't stressful, and the work was easy though boring. Not to say that I haven't had any good times since then, but if I had to pick a single best year that would be it.

Yes that's right. I peaked at ten, all downhill from there. ;-)

Actually, the best years of my life were the last 2... barring the depression this year, of course. I figured out my scientific theory when I was 17, got better able to explain it at 18 and even better this year at 19... and now I'm on this board and you guys are the best friends I ever had, so this is probably the best year of my life if the depression stays away!

For me it was 1998, the year I was 10 (it's so easy for me... I was born on January 2 so I'm the same age for an entire year minus one day!) I got an ice storm for my 10th birthday0-- the big one in Quebec that was declared a state of emergencdy. A 2-week holiday from school, fun at my aunt's place with my cousins, fun at a shelter after with a friend from school, the excitement of the crisis... it was great! I got to go to a funeral (my grandmother's), I was in this great drama thing where I had fun with other kids and got to act, which I enjoyed. I then went to Gaspe and had fun with my other cousins, pulled pranks and played together; it was so fun!
