Probably about a 9. Similar to what several people have already mentioned that doesn't mean that life is perfect or even easy but four months ago yesterday my first child ,a baby boy, was born. We almost lost him......my full time gig is a fireman so I have seen my share of death and dying and truly thought that my son wasn't going to make it. Now he is a healthy little boy and my pride and joy. When I think about how bad life can get I just think "well hey at least I've got my wife and baby boy." That was a huge reality check on what is and isn't important!
