THE 70'S

i loved the 60's, the 70's and the 80's. these 3 era's provided alot of fun times for me. the one thing they have in common was: i was still young and a bit more carefree regarding how i approached life. the 60's was all about my childhood experiences and just being playful. experiencing and discovering. the 70's was about thinking i knew everything, having fun, but slowly approaching being more serious about life. feeling philosophical about who i really was in this world. and who God was. I continued having great fun in the 80's-treating my "serious moments" from the 70's like it was just a phrase i was going through. but i truly loved the 70's. i loved college friends, the music of that time, the clothes, and watching soul train. now when i listen to the music: i still love it and dance to it. when i watch old youtube videos: i enjoy the memories it brings regarding the dancing that was so fun to do. but clothes? no way! what i thought looked really cool then-looks very silly and goofy now (lol). the 80's, 90's and the new millenium brought fun, but more serious times than the other generations i experienced. the best things about the 80's, 90's, and new millenium were the relationships got deeper and i had more awareness about what it meant to treasure them. now i am still having fun and still experiencing my youthfulness that dwells in me. God still plays a major role in my life because i found out who He was. and i am able to balance my
responsibilites with what life throws at me. but i love remembering the 70's because it walked me into my older years with a dance and song. i was able to welcome my new age with open arms and embrace my grey hair like a fashion statement that won't go away (and i don't want it too). i think it's great to look back at a time in your life where you "remember the good old days". it's even better to look back and "bring back" into the present the attitude you had about life when you were younger. it's geat to bring that "kid" in you out to play.

FINAL THOUGHT: the older you get, the more you are able to have more time to experience "looking back". that provides times for more fun, but also time for more pain or struggles. hopefully, you learn from "looking back" to create your present with more fun and then walk into your future with the same attitude.

QUESTION: when were the best years of your life?
