Why? I had recovered from my divorce in 1994. I was financially sound. I was in a new position in a start-up unit on base, and was needed and wanted in my job. I made new friends who appreciated me for me. My children were in great shape. I was in counseling and learning a lot about myself.
The year my daughter was born....afte 8 years of being told I could never have any more children, along came my miracle baby......she defied the doctors, she survived my having major abdominal surgery at 5 months, and she came squalling into this world as the most precious of gifts. I was almost 40 at the time, it was indeed a miracle year!
Honestly, and I know this is going to sound cheesy, but there are too many for me to choose from. I love life most all of the time and have found great times in most every year thinking back. I loved what I learned from the experiences both good and bad. There are many years that I would love to live over to appreciate them more, but I don't think I would choose to as I always look forward to what the next year brings me.

I couldn't come up with a "best year" either. There have been many great ones, and a few that weren't so hot.
And next year is only days away.
Loved the late 80's early 90's when I lived in L.A. as I had some of the greatest and most life learning times, but unfortunately I don't remember a lot of them.
