hmmm…..
My computer has been running very slowly the past couple of days, so I suspected a virus. I set up a scan, thinking I could run it fairly quickly. Wrong! Sitting here an hour later, I find myself still waiting to write my blog.
Since I needed to compose it before I go to work, I decided to write it the old fashioned way – with pen and paper. There is something very relaxing about putting pen to paper. It feels like the words are streaming out of the brain and into the hand where they land on the paper without much effort. I guess the same could be said about the keyboard, but really, it’s not the same.
I have heard that penmanship is no longer being taught in schools and that soon cursive writing will be a thing of the past. Wonder if there will be special classes to teach the art of calligraphy – that would be a nice twist.
I admit that cursive writing can be hard to read. My mom’s hand writing was nearly impossible to translate. Every time I received a letter from mom at summer camp I struggled to read it. Often I just gave up and simply appreciated the fact that she loved me enough to write.
When my computer finishes scanning I’ll go back to the keyboard, but I hope that I never forget the art of good penmanship.
hmmm…..
