National Handwriting Week
I’ve only just discovered it’s National Handwriting Week January 21 - 27. This information came to me via some online research on handwriting analysis, which was prompted by an article I read today in Reader’s Digest while sitting in a waiting room. The magazine was at least seven years old, but the information was still current.
From what I can find online this National Handwriting Week is only national in the US. I feel it’s appropriate for all of us to stop and appreciate handwriting, though, no matter where you live. Send someone a handwritten letter or card, spend time writing in your journal, write something and display it to the world or simply enjoy the fact that you can write with the implement of your choice.
Apparently it was John Hancock’s birthday 23 January. He was the first man to sign his name on the Declaration of Independence, which helps me answer another question I had about that cliché I hear in so many US movies.

I sometimes wonder if my grandkids will even recognize my handwriting, everything is done with type nowadays. I love a handwritten card or note. E-cards? Ugh.

Lol, Michelle. I agree. Just receiving mail that isn’t a bill is lovely. Thanks for your comment. ;-)
