The New Year is a natural moment to reset your mindset.
If a message like this were written on a friend’s New Year’s card, it might inspire them to think, “All right, let’s do our best again.” Achieving a dream isn’t easy.
There will be times when you feel down.
But knowing that someone cares about you and is cheering you on can turn those words into the driving force that helps you move forward.
May lots of little happinesses come your way.
Little moments of happiness that make a smile spill out before you know it.
What kinds of moments do you imagine? Bumping into a friend by chance, finding something you wanted, your favorite item showing up on the school lunch menu.
There are so many small, joyful moments in everyday life, aren’t there? On days when something unpleasant happens, those moments feel even more special.
They may be small, but they lighten your heart and let you breathe easier…
It’s a very gentle message that wishes for many such moments to come your way.
You can also feel the desire to be someone who brings that happiness to others.
Wishing for a year that warms the heart.
How about using this phrase when you want to tell a dear friend that you hope they have a warm and wonderful year? It lets you pour in your kindness—wishing them lots of gentle moments and feelings, and that they won’t encounter any sorrow that chills the heart.
It’s also nice to add a wish to share heartwarming experiences together.
Put all the feelings you have for your friend into these words!
May you be able to keep smiling in the new year as well.
Spending each day with a smile is important for keeping yourself and those around you in a positive mindset.
This message straightforwardly conveys the hope that you’ll continue to enjoy each day with a smile that spreads to everyone around you.
The phrase “in the new year as well” also reminds us that you’ve been smiling up to now, too.
It conveys a sense of mutual support, suggesting that your smile contributes to both of our happiness.
May the new year bring you wonderful days every day.
It’s a warm message that conveys kindness and consideration for the other person’s daily life.
Rather than simply saying “I hope you have a great year,” it wishes them “wonderful days,” showing you care about each and every day they spend—and that’s really lovely.
Even though it’s a classic kind of message, it still communicates your kindness and thoughtfulness.
It’s a wonderful message you can send not only to friends but also to adults like teachers or relatives without feeling awkward.
May the new year bring many smiles to meet.
A smile is something we wear when we’re happy or having fun, isn’t it? This message carries a wish that you’ll encounter many such joyful moments.
By using the word “smile,” happiness feels closer at hand, and it conveys the hope that the person reading it will smile too.
No one knows what the new year will bring.
But if this one phrase is added to a New Year’s card, wouldn’t you find yourself smiling when you sense the promise of a joyful future?
Let’s spend every day with a smile!
As the saying goes, “Good fortune comes to the home that smiles,” a smile has many kinds of power.
Just as the saying suggests, if you can spend each day with a smile, you may encounter many good things.
This phrase is perfect when you want the coming year to be filled with lots of good things together with your dear friends.
When your friend smiles, you feel happy, and if you smile, your friend will surely be happy too.
With the feeling of sharing happiness with each other, why not include this saying in your New Year’s card as a gift?
