My handwriting has changed because of aging. I only write in manuscript these days. Cursive is for signatures only. I think it is because of the weakening of the small muscles in the hand, stiffness, and perhaps even eye-hand-coordination. It's funny. Now that cursive is being phased out, I am finally an early adopter of current trends.

Time for me to go to Staples!!!!!  I would enjoy seeing what they have in the writing dept.  I think it is great, Shanus,  that you are well supplied with pens and such throughout the house!!!!

One job I had, one of the first things I noticed, was when someone's handwriting changed. At least you notice it.  I believed at the time it had to do with the person's aging, or maybe even meds they were on.

 

Go ahead and print if you need to, the youngsters are only being taught that now.

 

I also noticed a little French girlfriend I had (elemetary age) had a certain way she did her letters.  I thought it was just that she wrote that way, due to her accent.

 

So I  guess that there's many reasons a person's handwriting can change.  As long as you can read it, I guess that's all that matters.

Once a year, I am reminded how poor my handwriting has become. When I write notes on my Christmas cards. Every year my handwriting seems worse. I rarely write anything anymore, maybe a list for the grocery store.

 

But that is like so many things with my life presently.

 

I asked my husband to bring done a Rubbermaid tub of summer clothes from the attic. He dutify brought down a tub. Well, is was a tub of really nice tops and sweaters. The items were made with cashmere and merino wool. It was so sad to see them. Most still had their tags on them. Stuff I will probably never wear.

 

My life now is so low key. I doubt I will ever wear those clothes again.

Each year in this month, the city does a pickup.  I'm getting really good at weeding things out.  My husband?  Not as much, but it's his stuff. His son will curse him some day. LOL
