Happy birthday to the person who turned an ordinary calendar date into the most important one I keep.

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.
May this year hand you back, in small kindnesses, everything you so easily give the rest of us.
Wishing you a day that feels less like attention and more like being seen — which you deserve.
Another trip around the sun with you on the passenger side; I'd take this drive at any speed.
May your year ahead be wide where it needs to be, and warm in all the narrow corners.
Loving you on your birthday is the easiest job I've ever had and the only one I want to keep.
