We asked, you answered: What is your hope for 2024?

SYDNEY, N.S. — When the calendar turns to a brand-new year, thoughts of change enter many people’s minds. Most times it’s with the desire for the year to pan out better than the one before, or at least as good if you had a particularly lucky one.There’s also usually a wish for the world situation to improve, especially for those who are suffering.
The Cape Breton Post randomly asked some people “What is your hope for 2024?”
Lou Lilly, Louisburg
I just had surgery on my back, so I am hoping for a speedy recovery. As well I’d like to see the fighting in Ukraine stop.It’s going on too long.

Ron Poirier, Sydney
Some peace. It’s too much conflict with everybody today, whether it’s religion or race. We’re all here for a short time. Appreciate everything we have.

Dr. Mahmood Naqvi, Sydney
I hope things get a little better for employment. Employment means everything.

Destiny Baker, Sydney
Probably just get my life together, basically. And a new scene. Just better myself.

Darlene Oursin, Sydney
Peace, kindness, fix the homeless situation. All of these. Everybody is the same as everybody else. They (who find themselves in that situation) can’t help how things turn out.
