I think I am in the good ol' days now and am terrified they are going by too fast.

I'm not sure what the good ol' days are for me. The different stages of my life have all been good for different reasons. I think instead of looking back and thinking about how good it was back then, I'd rather focus on the good aspects of life of my life currently happening.

The years I was living the dream backpacker life in London and Australia were my good ole days. I was age 25 to 29 at the time, single, footloose, and fancy free. I had a great job and enough time and money to go anywhere and everywhere - I travelled a ridiculous amount during that time and made some amazing friends.

I 100% knew those years were going to be my best years that I always looked back on with pride, happiness, and a tinge of sadness that they're over. Fortunately, as I knew how lucky I was at the time, I took full advantage of every opportunity presented to me and made the most of my time.

ETA: I love my life now and wouldn't trade it for the world but those years abroad were such a formative carefree time in my life.

Oh, this is so, so true for me!! I suppose my ultimate "good old days" was the year I turned 23 (and al ittle before and after). I shared a house with great friends and my life revolved around parties and social events - I was somewhere different every night of the week! I look back on that time with such fondness, I have so many stories to tell and although I'm happy now I do often feel sad that those days are over. I really didn't realise at the time how special they were!

These days I'm a little terrified of every moment that passes - scared I'm going to blink and miss some more "good old days". I was obsessive during our wedding planning about taking pictures of every little thing we did, convinced we'd look back on that time fondly. I think maybe I was so focused on remembering it, I forgot to live it!!

All Night DH kept complaining Andy was getting to much camera time, but had to admit that was the most poignant thing said on the episode.

Hard to say when you know. No one knew when the house market hit bottom until it started to recover. Wonderful and traggic things happen to people, which can sometimes divide up time. Self-reflection, and taking the time to take stock in what's going on in your life allows you to cherish the good old days before they past.

I remember visiting family one Christmas during the Clinton years. It was the first and only time ever I opened multiple gifts at someone else's home. I knew in that moment everyone was happy they could buy gifts for extended family. Everyone was merry and full of life. That space in time was a good old day.

I agree that was the best line. Made me tear up a little. It reminded me of what my great grandfather always used to say: "And we didn't know how much fun we were having."

In think these are the good ole days- for sure. Life is so sweet at the moment. I agree - best quote in the finale

I think after uni when I was living with friends, loving working on a newspaper and going backpacking every summer were my good old days. But now A is here, I think we're creating new ones. My husband said that these, spending time with our awesome baby, are our good old days and I thought that was really sweet.
