Writing by hand is still around.

My mom was a diligent note-writer, from thank-you cards to “hello” notes. It’s a habit that trickled down to me, and I am an avid note writer for every occasion. The image in this post came from an article in today’s New York Times about writing notes. One part of the piece said, “Don’t worry that your handwriting is bad. No one is expecting calligraphy.”.. This is good advice. Over time, I have sent hundreds of notes on every topic imaginable. In most of the cards I send, I include a small handful of confetti—just for fun. Try writing a card to someone you haven’t spoken to in a long time. I’ll bet you will get a response in return.
