19. I would have to say the 1990s

I turned 50 in 1997, and learned a lot about myself during the '90s. Some of it a bit kinky, but I sure had lots of fun. I had nude photos taken before my 50th birthday. I quit an excellent job and moved out of state to be with a man, which didn't work out. But I got to Tortola, the Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, and various other places in the process, including Amsterdam, Wales, and Paris. I had no regrets. Still don't. Well, I regret letting myself get fat. My cardiologist today informed me I am NOT morbidly obese. LOL. Thank gawd for small favors.

and so it goes as I head into my 70s later in the year.
