2023 is finally behind us, and as we step into 2024, it’s time to share our hopes, dreams, and goals for the coming year. Here are mine:
1. I hope to prioritize my health by losing the COVID weight and managing my chronic conditions better.
2. I hope for advancements in technology, particularly a hearing aid that can filter out ambient noise and enhance speech.
3. I hope for a cure for Alzheimer’s this year.
4. I hope for a world filled with patience and grace.
5. I wish for good health and good fortune for myself, my family, and my friends.
6. I hope to achieve professional success, such as landing a book contract, securing a paid humor column, and owning a beach house.
7. And of course, I wouldn’t mind winning the Lotto!
Feel free to dream big – what are your hopes and dreams for 2024?
