The "Olden Days"

The “old 80’s”.

This is what my kids call it.

This must be akin to what I would call the “olden days” when I was a kid.

Oh, how I miss the 80’s. The music , no cell phones, great toys, and what seems like easier times.

A couple of years ago I was talking with some of my clients who were 80 and 82 at the time. I was lamenting about the past and specifically the 80’s. How it was the best decade EVER.

They wholeheartedly disagreed.

The 50’s were their favorite decade.

And then I realized, its not so much the decade we mourn, but who we were then.

At the beginning of the 80’s I was a young child and I transitioned into a teenager by 1989.

These were some of the best years of my life, and right now it’s comforting to think about the past and how maybe things DID seemed more carefree back then.

What was your favorite decade?
