Let's continue with April A to Z.
Today our feature letter is H and
H is for Handwritten Notes
Did you know that some schools are not teaching children how to write in cursive? They also don't know how to read a letter written in cursive. Handwritten notes make life a little better, but I'm worried they are on the way to becoming a lost art.
I love going to the mailbox to see if we have received anything fun like a handwritten note or letter. One of my Great Nieces (or Grand Niece? - I've asked that before) is a wonderful writer of thank you notes. When I've sent gifts for her children, she always writes a note.
Our favorite handwritten notes are from our young adults. Over the last 16 years, we have hosted hundreds of young adults on Tuesday nights for dinner and Bible study. The notes they have written to us have a special place in a drawer in our dresser.
Have you ever heard of Discovery weekend for middle schoolers or The Emmaus Walk (for adults)? Both of those are spiritual weekends and at the end of the weekend, you are given a stack of letters written by your loved ones. Those notes are so special, too!
I actually have really nice handwriting and enjoy writing when I have time, but I have noticed that the older I get, the more quickly my hand tires out. Anyone else have that problem?
Do you like handwritten notes? Do you still write notes? Do you send thank you notes?

I love handwritten notes and still write them to others too. I have nice handwriting but I think if you don't use it often it does become sloppy and harder to read. We're all so used to keyboards now. A friend sent me a note in the mail just last week, on a beautiful note card and I so appreciated seeing that in my mailbox.
