Your handwriting tell me nothing about your thoughts. Your words and your actions tell me everything I need to know about WHO YOU ARE.<br />I really like the thought in your writing, the idea of the 'x' saying nothing except someone signed this.<br />♥Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-4117099961142655502012-04-27T18:46:50.888-04:002012-04-27T18:46:50.888-04:00It's amazing how long we've come with the ...It's amazing how long we've come with the number of people who now know how to write as compared to the past. Would someone like your son ever have been taught how to sign his name back in your ancestors time?

He can write his name and other words, but only if he traces them. Isn't that true for life too, that we judge a book, or signature, before we look at the person who wrote it? If it's any help, I think writing, or at least penmanship will be obsolete very soon. My first grader already uses an Ipad at school all day. Soon, I think 'writing' will be a thing of the past. We will all be typing and texting!Carihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09871517399157141234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-84590917866586166862012-04-27T15:07:01.868-04:002012-04-27T15:07:01.868-04:00This was terrific, and I read Hanna's comment ...This was terrific, and I read Hanna's comment above and can pretty much say, "Ditto!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-64720008529681815162012-04-27T11:53:17.349-04:002012-04-27T11:53:17.349-04:00my husband takes an hour to write a card--it's...my husband takes an hour to write a card--it's not that he can't write, he just thinks too much, about what he is going to say--maybe i don't think enough---great post!Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-18809986332864458282012-04-27T10:19:51.185-04:002012-04-27T10:19:51.185-04:00I remember staring at those "Xs" for a w...I remember staring at those "Xs" for a while.

It is simply one mode of communication. Just one. It doesn't reflect who he is or what he has to offer. <br />xoAmy McMunn https://www.blogger.com/profile/04777029840258598019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-77760244187408795662012-04-27T09:02:02.510-04:002012-04-27T09:02:02.510-04:00I love how you end this post.

That doesn't mean he's not a thinker or speaker. Most of the time he answers my text messages "ok". Three words at the most. So, if I judged him by his writing, I'd miss all the great thoughts, the humor, the warmth. Writing is just not his thing. Thank you, Amy.Hanna Jensen Finlandnoreply@blogger.com
