I grew up in a world of written communication, and, though my Palmer Penmanship always came up short, I loved sharing with friends by writing to them. Then – back in my late sixties, my hands fell victim to the double whammy of arthritis and tremors (lack of control.) My handwritten notes are much shorter now, and more laborious to create – so I “type” my notes and letters and tuck them in pretty cards. It is, after all, the intent, not the physical ability.

Agreed. I am sure the recipient of your notes are grateful!
Good for you!!!!!
I love sending as well as receiving hand written cards and letters but it seems in today’s world many are texting or using social media . My penmanship is not what it used to be but I still enjoy sending cards and letters. My postman commented ” Your keeping us in business”.
I love that you’re using a typewriter.
