This year is definitely up there - 22!

rckt148 · 61-69, M
Jan of 1994 I was healed instantly from years of drug addictions and alcoholism ,,
Nov of 95 I got full custody of my kids that had been taken and hid from me for 12 yrs
I set out to be the best Dad ever ..strict ,but pushing my kids to independence and careers ,,lots of love and music mixed in with my strictness
(I must not have been strict enough ,2 of my daughters came back home ,unwed with kids for guess who to raised ,no Dads in the picture ,one Dad got himself killed )
But when I put God and family before anything else
My life just sort of fell into place
My girls and I traveled as a Christian music group for a while
Our Music is still the glue that binds us through anything
Now the Grand kids all have a song they take lead on and we still sing as a family ,but we no longer do concerts or travel
But 34 ,,1994 ,,Jan 18th in fact was the day my life turned around

@rckt148
so awesome🤗

Congrats on your sobriety, this sounds like a life well lived to me.

@EmilyEdith 🤗🤗❤️
I know I am a very blessed man now
I am not about to complain ..you have to face hell to know true joy
I no longer take the simple things for granted ,my Family is my world
I pray this is your year too 🙏
My life has not been without struggles ,
I just come out of a 7 yr low (another season in the valley )
I lost my woman (she left me ) and my Mom passed away going on 8 yrs ago
I spent 2 yrs in seclusion blaming God ,lost my direction for a bit
But God did warn me in a vision to leave my ex alone ( I had no clue who it was ,,only a female was going to side track me ,possibly cost me my life .I basically threw caution to the wind and paid a big price for it ,I did pray to die for a time and no one knew how to help me )
But this has been a year of restoration for me again
My ex and I are speaking again ,,we still love each other ,BUT
No one will come before my Lord again ,,no one
But having my best friend back in my life has mended a lot of hurt
We can be friends if that's all that comes from our reunion
So my walk is not always easy or uneventful ..I just know I will be fine
He has never left nor forsaken me ,and it made me and my family stronger
They almost lost their Dad (I had a heart attack over the grief )
And I got to see who really does stick by me ,even when I didn't want them around .
So life is a non stop learning experience ,now I feel I am ready for anything
So prayers and blessing your way ,,I hope its your year to see the mountain top too ,,its awesome up there ,but with out the valley
Would we appreciate it as much ?

@rckt148 I admire your positive outlook so much!☺
So great for your family that you and your ex can get along and enjoy your beautiful kids and grandkids. Life loves a good liver.🌞

I can't choose a particular year. I would have to say the last 5 years. I've been to hell and back these last five years. It has both broke me and made me. I have suffered the most and overcame so much during that time. It continues...
EmilyEdith · 56-60, F
@MyPathOfTotality but you're still learning. That's what counts.
It is making my day to have so many responses from people who think they are learning the most RIGHT NOW!
Our lights are on at least💡Even if it HURTS
Yay us
MyPathOfTotality · 46-50, M
@EmilyEdith I've always said that there is no evolution without suffering. We look for the happy moments but we remember the bad. They're always there to remind us of our struggles and what we overcame. We get knocked down. We stand up. We brush the dust off and we push through. One day at a time. One step at a time.
I was 28 and just gave birth.

When are we DONE though!!🤣@FreeSpirit1

@FreeSpirit1 Becoming a parent does change the game doesn't it! 😧

I think 2017. I was 46 most of that year. I found out that certain people were not what they appeared to be, and that sometimes the people you're supposed to be able to trust most are the ones you really need to watch out for. But I also found out that there are people who really do care, who will do whatever they can to help you pick yourself up and carry on. Of course, the choice to do that, and how I'm going to do that, is up to me.

That's tough I learned a lot in the year 2002,I learned that I could hold in my years for a while and block the rest of the day out. I learned that I was a failure that year.

But in 2010 I learned that life was beautiful again. That the most important in my life aren't my family.

I'm not going give out my age
EmilyEdith · 56-60, F
@MrKota no need to. I hope life is still beautiful? 🌻
MrKota · 36-40
@EmilyEdith It'll always have it setbacks not as bad as when my brother killed himself and taught me to laugh sucked. But my wife and our pets made it amazing.

28 and I'm 28
EmilyEdith · 56-60, F
@Lostindespair wow this is a big year for so many of us!
I hope the kiddies are reading..life learning is a process and they don't teach it in school 😎
EmilyEdith · 56-60, F
That's kind of where I am. I think I've unlearned a few things recently as well 🙄
Not always easy but kind of empowering?
Hopefully@caccoon
EmilyEdith · 56-60, F
... And it's only JULY 😳😳
WindTherapy · 56-60, M
I feel like I've forgotten so much that I can't even remember when I might have learned the most overall. But I like to think we've never too old to learn and each day there is something new and different to be learned. 👍️
Fantabulous · 46-50, F
I think 39...
RubySoo · 56-60, F
I think i learned a lot in my 51st year too.....
caccoon · 36-40
So far, it's been the last few years. They've been a real eye-opener for me. A lot of bad things happened, I learned a lot, and I've grown from it.
