best days
Life's high points
Best days refers to a period of peak vitality, success, or happiness—usually in the past.
When someone's best days are behind them, they've declined from former glory.
A athlete past their best days no longer performs at their peak.
The phrase often carries nostalgia or resignation: The factory's best days were in the seventies.
Occasionally used hopefully: Our best days are still ahead.
