Today's prompt: When was the last time you wrote something substantive — a letter, a story, a journal entry, etc. — by hand? Could you ever imagine returning to a pre-keyboard era?
Last week - I wrote a letter to my sponsored Compassion child. :)
I love to write by hand. I love nice pens. (The thing I regret most about not teaching is that I don't need to buy school supplies!) I especially love to write in cursive with a nice pen. It appalls me that kids don't learn to write in cursive anymore. I was shocked when my cousin's finance, who is over 20 years old, could not read handwritten cards at her bridal shower! It's so sad!
I understand that technology is a big deal & kids need to learn typing, but how will they even sign their own name if they aren't taught how to write?
Maybe it's not necessary, but it's an art form that they're missing out on.
Getting emails is great, but there's nothing better than finding a handwritten card in the mailbox.
Goal for the week: Send a handwritten note every day.
