Any day that I wake up on the right side of the dirt is a great day. I voted a 7/10. This has been the most difficult year of my life. Mostly because of re-injuring my back and instead of it getting better with the epidural shots it actually got worse. I have been diagnosed with severe Adhesive Arachnoiditis. It's difficult to explain but pretty much the membrane surrounding the spinal cord is inflamed and there is no cure for it. It's very difficult to walk, sit, or do any moment. Here's a link explaining what it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnoiditis

Despite this I know that life is still good. Yes, it could always be better but it also could be worse. I have been blessed beyond measure and I am grateful for those blessings from my Heavenly Father.
