What do you want to leave behind you from this last year?

Bad habits and poor judgment. Fits of temper and episodes of greed. Vain regrets.

THERE ARE A FEW BAD MEMORIES OR THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST YEAR THAT IWISH WE DID NOT HAVE TO TAKE INTO 2001 BUT WE HAVE NO WAY OUT OF IT BUT HOPE NOT TO TAKE IT INTO 2002.
