Perspectives
It’s a new year, and as the page turns on our paper or digital calendars, our thoughts often turn to what lies ahead. For this edition of Perspectives, we asked neighbors:
“What are you looking forward to in 2024?”
“In 2024, I eagerly anticipate acquiring new skills, exploring unfamiliar destinations, embracing novel experiences, and cherishing moments with family and friends. I am especially excited for conquering the slopes of Mt. Hood snowboarding, followed by the joys of summer — camping, kayaking, and fishing in the warm embrace of seasonal weather.” (Jake, 2 years in B-W)
“In 2024, I’m looking forward to lots of neighborhood walks, endless tacos and drinks at Tacovore, and plenty of time on Mt. Hood either snowboarding or hiking. I look forward to all the new experiences, joy, and lessons the new year will bring.” (Samantha, 14 years in B-W)
“I’m looking forward to traveling and spending time with family and friends in the new year. With two kids in college on the east coast and one in high school, it is always great when we can gather to spend time together. Happy New Year!” (Erika, 12 years in B-W)
“For 2024 my hopes are to have the Ducks in the national championship, a monster spring salmon run for fishing, and big snow for skiing. Peace, family, and friends.” (Aaron, 12 years in B-W)
“I am looking forward to playing more soccer in the new year. But most especially, turning 16 this coming year and getting my driver’s license.” (Oscar, 12 years in B-W)
