4 C - Best holiday memory?
nothing.

My Home Depot Funny Car! :)

Wasted time and energy caring about what others thought of me.

21. Biggest disappointment this year?
That I couldn't make everyone else happy.

Happiness.

23. Best new person you met this year?
Babs, Clance, Nascar Granny all people who have helped me realise I AM worth fighting for!


24. A valuable life lesson you learnt this year?
Care not so much what others think of you, so much as what you think of yourself. IF you can make yourself feel proud, for even one second, then you have achieved something worthwhile.
