2. What was the single most challenging thing that happened?    


Everything is a challenge isn't it? If life wasn't a challenge, would we bother getting up?

Unexpected joy?  Mmmm, let me think... My husband buying me daffodils in December, completely unprompted?

My children and my husband, and a renewed friendship with a psychotic lunatic.
