37. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007.
To not talk about things that bother me about another person with others...if I have a problem (or question about something) with someone/something, I should go to that person. I put myself and a dear friend in a very uncomfortable situation last year and then I felt so convicted and sorry. I immediately went to the person and apologized and I felt so embarrassed and ashamed, even though I had to let her know.
.38. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year. I couldn't even think of anything.
