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.
Happy retirement, best friend. The Monday meetings will never be the same. We will cope. Slowly. By scheduling lunch.
Congrats on the milestone. The career was a long sprint. The retirement is the long walk. The friendship is the part that comes along for both.
Wishing you a retirement spent doing what the job has kept interrupting. All of it. Generously. Some of it with me.
Happy retirement, best friend. May the alarm clock have its little funeral.
Best friend — congrats. The career was a chapter. The retirement is the long, well-deserved coda. The friendship is the bond that survives both.

More from today
Wishing you a peaceful retirement and a phone that only rings when you want it to. Mine will be one of the ones you actually want.
Happy retirement, best friend. The first month will feel strange. The second will feel correct. By month three, we'll be planning regular trips.
Congrats on the next chapter. The friendship has been one of the more important ones in my life. The post-work version is going to be even better.
Wishing you a retirement of garden afternoons, hobby evenings, and the occasional long lunch with the friend who is writing this card.
Happy retirement. The team will figure things out. The friendship will not require figuring out. It'll just continue.
Congrats on retiring, best friend. The badge goes in a drawer. The friendship goes wherever you go.
Wishing you a brilliant retirement. The career was the long sprint. The next phase is the long, well-deserved walk.
Happy retirement, best friend. The way you've shown up at work over the years has been the kind of professionalism that's getting rarer. Today, said clearly.
Congrats on the next chapter. May the only deadline you face from here on out be dinner — and may some of those dinners include me.
Wishing you a peaceful retirement and the kind of friendship-after-work that doesn't always survive the change. Let's make sure ours does.
Happy retirement, best friend. The career was a chapter. The friendship is the longer story. Off you go. Keep in touch.
Congrats on retiring. The Slack channel will be quieter. The text thread between us will, hopefully, be louder. Trade.
Wishing you well in the new phase. The career taught you to be efficient. The retirement is the chance to be slow. The friendship gets to be the part that gets more time now.
Happy retirement, best friend. May the alarm clock have its little funeral. May the morning coffee taste better than ever. May the friendship survive the change. (It will. We'll make sure.)
Congrats on the next chapter. The team is losing one of the great ones. The friendship is gaining a person with a lot more time. Today, both feelings are real. Mostly the second one.
Good luck on the first day. The team will be new. The acronyms will be confusing. By Friday, you'll be using them like you've been there for years.
Wishing you a great first day at the new job. Smile, ask questions, find the good bathroom early.
Good luck. The first day is mostly logistics. The real work starts Tuesday.
First day at the job. Take notes. Ask questions. Eat lunch. Survive. That's the whole assignment.
