New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
I owe you a coffee for missing your birthday. Two, if we're being honest. Happy belated.
Belated wishes for a person who deserved a much more on-time message. Hope the year ahead is generous.
Happy belated birthday, friend. May the year keep being good, even past the official day.
Belated birthday hug for someone who almost certainly forgave me before I asked. Hope your day was beautiful.
Late, again. Reliably late, even. Happy birthday — the affection is on time, even if the calendar wasn't.

Belated wishes, friend. May this year be one of the easier ones, regardless of when I noticed.
Sorry for the late birthday note. The thought was here. The execution failed me. Forgive me?
Belated happy birthday. Counting the day as still slightly open — celebrate one more time on me.
Late birthday wishes, fully meant. Hope your day was the kind that recharged you.
Belated. Truly. Hope you were properly fussed over by people who remembered on time.
Happy belated birthday. The wish is the same as it would've been on the day — that your year ahead is gentler than the last.
Belated wishes for a much-loved friend. I'm late. The love isn't.
Sorry for missing the day. The good news: birthdays don't expire among people who actually like each other. Happy belated.
Happy retirement, best friend. The team is losing one of the great ones. The friendship gets the upgrade — more time.
Congrats on retiring. The badge fades. The friendship doesn't. Let's prove it.
Wishing you a retirement that gives you back the parts of yourself the work wore down. The friendship will be there for all of it.
Happy retirement, best friend. The first month will feel strange. By month three, we'll be planning regular lunches.
Congrats on the next chapter. The friendship has been one of the great gifts of my professional life. The retirement is going to make it even better.
Wishing you a retirement of slow mornings, long lunches with the friend writing this card, and the kind of weekend that doesn't end.
Happy retirement, best friend. The work clothes are in the donate pile. The casual ones are about to get a workout.
Congrats. The career was real. The break is sacred. The friendship is the part that's getting the benefit of more time.
Wishing you a retirement of garden afternoons, hobby evenings, and the kind of quiet you haven't had in decades. I'll be in some of the photos.
Happy retirement, friend. May the next decade be the one the career didn't leave room for. May we be in some of the chapters.
Best friend — congrats on retiring. The family is going to monopolize you. The friend is going to fight for the rest.
