A few years ago, I was saddened to hear from my niece, Nicole, that her children were not learning to write cursive because it had been abandoned in school curriculum.It felt like a stab to my heart that something so civilized and beautiful was being discarded. Of course, many young people already disregard thank you notes but if you’re gonna write a thank you, it needs to be in the swirling design of cursive.It’s an interesting fact that I and both of my sisters always had pretty handwriting. Each was distinctive and different with mine being the most elaborate and harder to read than their neat, perfect scripts.
