May this be a year where small happinesses accumulate day by day.
By piling up small moments of happiness each day, they may eventually lead to great happiness.
That’s why you might add this message to New Year’s cards.
Of course, big happiness is wonderful, but the chances to experience it are rare.
Small happiness, however, can surely be found all around us in our daily lives.
And if finding little joys becomes a habit, the time you feel happy will grow longer, and that will eventually become great joy.
Please share this message with someone precious to you, wishing them happiness.
Wishing you a year full of happiness and joy.
Both happiness and joy are abstract expressions, but that’s precisely why they resonate with anyone and make it easy to imagine the sparkle of a new year.
It’s hard to tailor a message specifically to a relative with whom you have a bit of distance.
That said, using the same boilerplate every year lacks warmth, and if you’re going to add a line, you want to choose words that truly reach the other person.
This brief message offers a flexible option for just such situations, so please feel free to make use of it.
Wishing you a year full of energy in both mind and body.
Try adding a short message wishing for both mind and body health to your New Year’s card.
Our bodies are said to be our greatest asset, and they’re that important.
Even if you want to start something new, if either your mental or physical health is compromised, you probably won’t get great results.
That’s why it’s nice to pour your hope for fundamental mental and physical well-being—and for a lively year—into a single line.
It’s a warm, wonderful message that suits anyone, regardless of age or relationship.
May your days be filled with joy and abundance of heart.
For one’s heart to be rich, it needs to be fulfilled.
In other words, this simple phrase conveys a wish for the coming year to be satisfying, while also expressing hopes for the recipient’s physical and mental well-being and a calm living environment as the foundation.
It’s a simple expression, but the wish behind it is profound and warmly heartfelt.
Why not write this phrase in your New Year’s card as you wish joyful days for a close friend or someone you often talk with? Your feelings of care will surely reach them.
