Art of a Handwritten Note

Welcome to my Home. Today is National Thesaurus day and Handwriting week. Making it a perfect time to talk about the lost Art of a handwritten Note . My Mom was famous for her note writings : she wrote notes to family and friends and of course Thank you notes. Since her passing I have tried to keep up the practice in her honor. But yes : a simple text or email is so easy and No stamp needed.

Reasons to Reclaim the Lost Art of Letter Writing

Handwritten letters are personal. : “A hand-addressed envelope with a real stamp and luxury note inside is very tactile. One of the oldest forms of communication, handwriting is innately human.”

Handwriting is a stress reliever. “The experience of writing a handwritten letter has been shown to relieve stress and is a really calming process,” notes.

It’s an opportunity for creativity and self-expression.: It’s also an opportunity to embrace right-brain thinking, allowing your creativity to influence how you write, what you write, how you read, and how you interpret the words.

They have more value than a digital letter.

Unlike a text or email, handwritten letters offer both physical and emotional value that doesn’t go unnoticed by the receiver. You can hold a letter in your hands, smell it, display it, share it, and store it. And because they’re often unexpected or occasional, they’re associated with delight.
