true confession

Today is 'Handwriting Day' which is appropriate because I received a handwritten letter from my sister-in-law yesterday.  I enjoyed her letter very much, I always do, and I plan to write back to her tomorrow, but here's where the true confession comes in. While I will be sending my letter to her by snail mail (it's fun to get real mail sometimes), I will not be sending her a handwritten letter.  It's so much easier to type a letter on my laptop and print it out, and, as a side benefit, she will be able to read it.  I must admit that my handwriting is not particularly neat these days, especially after I've written a page or two. I suspect it's (gasp) age related.  It's not for lack of training.  I remember pages and pages of penmanship practice in grades three through eight.  I always enjoyed the pages of lower case 'c' the most.  If you wrote them right, they looked like rows and rows of ocean waves.  I did a lot of daydreaming in school.
