HANDWRITING DAY


23rd of January 


Each year on the 23rd of January since 1977 is International Handwriting Day in conjunction with John Hancock's birthday. Mr Hancock was the first one to sign the Deceleration of Independence. When today we use more conventional and easier way of documenting and communicating via incredible technology that we are trying to catch up with. Today, take a pan and the paper-remember, feels good, doesn't it?

As each of us have different finger and tongue prints, we also have unique handwriting. Express yourself. Write away. Write a letter to future you, or a friend, write in your diary. Start your memoirs. Just write.

Take some time to sit and cut out paper cards, or simply squares, making them into 'Thank you cards'. Hand-write your thank yous to friends and family for Christmas presents and wonderful dinner parties they have organized and invited you, or if there is something more recent to thank for. Or if you were the host, thank you guest for their attendance, bottles, presents... Or simply thank someone you feel grateful for, has inspired you, thought you a lesson, just have been there to listen and support you.

Sign it big and bold as John Hancock did.

Happy Handwriting Day.
