39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2011.
let go. There is only so much you can do, and when you have done it all and can't do any more, stop worrying, life will happen as it is meant to. Just roll with the punches. (Mind, I'm not always good at not worrying, but that's the idea)
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
(granted this is mostly for the second half of the year, but we're going with the positives here)
