25.) How would you rate this year with a scale from 1 (worst) to 10 (best)?
7 - although if I were to rate it on a scale of 1 (worst) to 26 (best) - it's the 4th worst. I realize the rating system probably doesn't make much sense - It's probably my 4th worst year out of my 26 (at least I can think of 3 worse off the top of my head). Overall it's only rated a 7 because while a lot of crappy things happened, a lot of babies were born, I made a lot of great new friends, my husband and family were there for me, my self-confidence skyrocketed with the more I was able to handle, and I now feel "normal" every single day!
