A year to savor small happiness in a big way
Savoring small happiness in a big way… that’s truly wonderful, isn’t it? It evokes the idea of feeling modest joys more deeply and more lastingly than anyone else.
By not overlooking small happiness and choosing to rejoice in it consciously, our daily richness may change.
Meeting a friend, seeing a rainbow—let’s be grateful for each of these little blessings and live our days abundantly.
It’s a message you’ll want to send to someone you wish happiness and a gentle life.
Kick off the new year with a smile!
It’s a lovely message that brings to mind someone dashing across the finish line with a smile.
It’s filled with great expectations for the new year and conveys a sense of excitement that can hardly wait.
Some people look forward to the New Year, and some don’t, but when a bright message like this arrives on a New Year’s card, it naturally brings a smile, doesn’t it? For students preparing for entrance exams, the phrase “starting dash” might spark the motivation to push hard now and pull ahead.
Thank you to my past self from last year. Let’s do our best again this year!
It’s a unique phrase to thank oneself.
But this single line might give the recipient a chance to affirm themselves.
Those who weren’t very satisfied with their results last year may still be carrying that feeling even as the new year begins.
Seeing this message at such a time could remind them of their past efforts and spark a feeling of “thank you.” And it may make them feel ready to do their best again this year.
I hope this New Year’s card becomes a catalyst for moving forward with a refreshed mindset.

May this year be filled with fulfilling days.
Only the person themselves truly knows whether they were able to spend fulfilling days, but simply adding this message to a New Year’s card lets you convey that, to you, their days seemed to shine.
By wishing for happiness in the broad sense of a fulfilling life, it becomes a phrase that will resonate with anyone.
With a heartfelt wish, try sending it to someone dear to you or someone you want to encourage.
That casual phrase may become a saving grace for them.
Wishing for another year full of learning.
I feel this phrase carries the meaning of joyful learning in life.
When we hear “learning,” we tend to think first of academic study, but what we gain in life isn’t just knowledge.
The insights and experiences we gain through relationships, in particular, become great assets for living.
With that sentiment in mind, why not add this phrase to your New Year’s card? Since learning enriches life, it will surely convey your wish for that person’s fulfilling days ahead.
We’ll churn out laughable incidents again this year.
What’s a laugh-worthy incident? It’s a message that makes you smile the moment you see the New Year’s card.
Depending on the content of the incident, the phrase “mass production afterward” might sound a bit scary, but even that will probably become material for laughs.
If you’re the comedy person in your group, this message is perfect for you.
It’ll likely become a topic of conversation when you meet at the New Year’s party, too.
If you like, think up a funny incident that everyone will enjoy and brighten up the New Year.
Even if you don’t usually make jokes, taking the plunge and writing one might lead to an unexpected self-discovery.
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.
