I wish you friends who remember you not just on your birthday, and work that gives satisfaction, not just money.

For the coming years, I wish you not to be afraid to dream like in childhood, to love like in youth, and to act with the determination that experience gives. May your home be full of warmth, your heart — full of love, and your calendar — full of dates you look forward to with anticipation.

I wish you to find joy in the simple things in the coming years — in your morning coffee, in a conversation with a loved one, in a sunset watched without rush. At the same time, I wish you big dreams and even bigger determination to realize them. May health be your faithful companion, love — your compass, and humor — your shield against difficulties. Remember that age is just a number — what counts is how you feel inside. And you have the energy for another forty years full of life!
