Personally, what is your biggest hope for this year?

I'm hoping for more happiness and money especially with the bi-annual bonuses.

I'm pretty satisfied, but also bored. I just want some more excitement out of life.

I am hoping, praying for my husband's shoulder to heal and for him to never play golf again.

Health, happiness and a modicum of prosperity (head above water after paying the bills is all I ask for) for all the family. A bit more free time would be nice too, but not if it impinges on the first three wishes.

Wish that the world economies recover and that those with violent and agressive streaks calm down and let others live in peace and prosperity.

"those with violent and aggressive streaks calm down and let others live in peace and prosperity"

Me too.

@Foxie - You can't have your cake and eat it too, do you want your husband's shoulder to heal, or do you want him to never play golf again? Ha ha!

I'm hoping my twisted ankle will heal, and I will never tumble down a flight of station steps again!

Beloved mother died in 2010, still reeling from that. Hope for more good luck and a yen around 96 please..

I wish all my personal problems to be solved and dreams come true.

I hope Jaan updates its joint custody laws so I can see my kids without having to beg and bribe the trout I was married to.

Good statement above, I pray too.

I hope hyperinflation is curbed before it is too late.

No more war!!!

More jobs for everyone.

I want another child.

On a personal basis I am doing ok so hope everyone else can get there as well!!

And for a lark that the J-govt, ministries & beauro-thieves learn what FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY IS!

thats it

I hope to be more true to myself and not get sidetracked by my self limiting beliefs!

Hope the Euro will go up, up, up up and...upppp to the sky !

health and happiness for all, stop the prejudice and hate. oh, and also, may japan treat it's english teachers like human beings.

I hope my wife grabs me another beer - oh and a foot rub wouldnt go astray either. Thank you dear - what a year it has been so far for this man of simple pleasures.

I want a back scratch every night.

I wish that more and more people will come to realise that they are being conned into believing that climate change is man-made, and they are also being conned by the propagation of evolutionary theory by the mass media and the scientific world.

More clowns, no not the political kind, the circus kind. We need to laugh more.
