As I look down at my notes I laugh...


not just because I have doodles all down the side of my page. But because of my handwriting. Within a Page of notes I have just experimented with 5 different handwriting. Print Bubbly. All CAPs. Fancy Smancy Cursive. Fast Print. Lazzzzyyy runned together cursive.

In first grade they taught us how to write our letters. We had extra big paper and extra big pencils. They taught us using exercises with connect the dot letters and examples of how our letters should look. But 15 years later our handwritings are not so cookie cutter. We each have an individual style of writing unique to ourselves that is almost completely impossible to replicate. It is also fairly easy to match handwritings to loved ones. I have found several old notes from friends that were unsigned yet I knew exactly who they were from. These tiny changes between how people write their letters is so amazing – that there could be that many ways to just write the letter H.
