Why do we make bad choices, when we "know better?" We see rain clouds in the sky but we don’t take an umbrella to work. More seriously, we marry someone who’s an alcoholic or drug addict, even though we know it’s a mistake.

In her new diary Anne writes: “It’s been just a little over a year since October 16, 2004, when an aneurysm suddenly burst inside my head and I was rushed to the hospital.
