Some would say it couldn't be worse, but unfortunately it could.

At the very least it will be an interesting year. I want easy. An easy year where dreams come true.

It's often best to be pessimistic, then the bad things are no surprise and the good things are a pleasant surprise. My philosophy. Expect the worst, and enjoy the good.

Prepare for the worst [as much as possible] hope for the best, be happy when things wind up in the middle.

Good luck with that. It's often best to be pessimistic, then the bad things are no surprise and the good things are a pleasant surprise. No way. Pessimistic is worrying twice for nothing. Plus, I believe dreams do come true. It's not worrying at all. it's just expectation derived from being aged. Life is not a bed of roses. I fully expected my TV to eventually stop working, for example. It did not come as a shock. Things happen if they happen, and do not come as a surprise, unless one creates a perfect dream world in one's head.
Dreams coming true? Depends what you dream I suppose. Some call it Positive thinking. There are 100s of books 'teaching' it. Most nonsense. So things come to those who think positive. Really? No one has as yet gifted me a Rolls Royce no matter how positive I think. Not that I expected them too. Dreams only can come true if one works hard at them doing so. In that case they are not dreams, but plans.

Have you never wished upon a falling star, Kevin?
