I was asked just that by a group of schoolboys today on the street. They conducted a survey for school. I asked about the other answers beside mine and got some interesting points. So I'd like to continue this here and have your input too.

I have to say "now", too. I have just been through six months of considerable discomfort after being challenged into moving out of my well established comfort zone. For a seventy-year-old this is no mean consideration.
However, the decision has been made, and for the first time in my life I am embarking on an overseas trip. We leave on Tuesday 11th September for England, where we will meet my wife's sister probably for the last time, Estonia, where we will meet a very dear friend of mine for the first time, one I met on this very forum, and whose question I am now addressing, and then back over to the Loovly Emerald Oil, then, chasing an ancestor. We will be returning home at Halloween. Looking at those flight dates, you can see that I am not superstitious!
So, having accepted the challenge and faced it, I am now in high spirits, and rearing to go.
I'll talk to you all again when I get back.

Living on the street in Manhattan.
Most wouldn't think so, but happiness is truly not having a care in the world. People throw away everything you could ever need and it's all just a trash can away. People you meet on the road are a closer and more reliable family than anyone blood related would ever try to be.
What was you answer?

Gee, though I'm happy now, the 'happiest' time would be when I was a young Shakespearean actor in New York. I fell head-over-heels in love with a girl who would become my wife and the mother of my children, another actor. She died in '03--thank Philip Morris. Today, married a second time, also to an actress, I seem to be at the top of my career and my life. But you said 'happiest period' and I answered when my love for Shakespeare and a girl...a girl she was...shaped me for the years that followed. And of course my theatre friends: always my friends. We are a lovely bunch, we players.

My brother and I lived on Maui for a few years when I was in my early 20's. All we did was smoke weed, go to the beach, drink beer, bar BQ and play basketball, we were even on a softball and basketball team with Hawaiians. Hawaiian people know how to have a good time that is for sure. Only bad part was that we had to work also. Biggest mistake I ever made in my life was coming back to the states.

Actually, it depends on what you mean by a "period." I spent over 20 years with My Steve, and over the whole time, that was the best. But there were also very bad times within that, so I guess it would be when we first moved into that charming little cottage in Ben Lomond, before the guy moved in across the street who played his car stereo super loud with his window open, because he did not have a stereo in his apartment. I mean, he played the car stereo while he was in his apartment! It was so loud, and his taste in music was so bad, Steve just could not be comfortable anymore, and we eventually moved.

That would be Aug-Sept 1982.
I was 22 and deeply, totally in love with a the most beautiful 21-year-old woman in the whole world, my job was going well, I had just purchased my first car, living away from parents, and I was energetic and full of life.

Ever since I have come across my spiritual master, the period to date has been increasingly happy and blissful. And I know that it will remain so in future.
There is no point having a pleasant time and then the same old times.

Before I realised the roll of money in my life. When I was a kid all the world seemed to me like reflection of my inner pleasure.
When money entered into my thoughts and when it started as a part of life, the world gradually seemed to devide in to many speheres.
So the period of happy was earlier to money entrance and will be when it is forgetted.
