National Handwriting Day

[delphipsmith]

It's National Handwriting Day! Writing by hand exercises your fine motor skills (it's about more than just the thumb, people!), improves dexterity (swiping can only do so much!), helps you retain information, and can have a powerfully positive emotional impact on the folks you write to. So write that letter to a friend, scribble a note and slip it under someone's door, leave a message on somebody's windshield, send a card to a family member, whatever -- as long as you do it by hand :)

If you can't think of anyone to write to, Egg Press has a list of those in need who could use a friendly word. Write on!!!

I agree about the impact of a hand-written letter.

However, nobody can read mine. Often, not even me. I am always impressed by good penpersonship.

Mine is quite nice, no doubt as a result of attending Catholic school during my formative years. Sister Benedicta, who was about a hundred and six years old, taught us.

Failure was not an option.
