My handwriting is deteriorating...

My handwriting is deteriorating… it’s scaring me! I barely write on a piece of paper these days. I sign my name and fill out forms occasionally. I’ve noticed that if I do have to write a note to the school teacher or anything for that matter, I have no flow in my writing and I really struggle to think of the letters (now THAT is bad!). I can’t get it together! I’ve even attempted writing in my Frankie diary, but it’s a mess. If my hand writing has depleated so much over the last 10 years, imagine what it’ll look like in 10 years time?

The last time I ever remember writing anything significant was back in 1998 when I was in my last year of University and we did every essay by hand. Boy how things have changed!

{It’s not quite this bad, but it’s heading this way!}

Is your a mess too? Is yours deteriorating?

I tried to write a shopping list the other and stumbled over the letters too!
My hand ached at the end of it! You are not alone. Spending our lives on a keyboard, it's bound to happen! A-M xx PS I remember those days of handwritten assignments!

Don't worry people will just think you are a Doctor – they always have terrible writing.
Oh no, that was in the dark ages now they just do it on the computers…

I'm lucky I have a nana that doesn't understand anything about the tech world so doesn't have a mobile or internet.

Which means we hand write snail mails back & forth or phone each other, I also hand write little reminders to myself or my husband so lucky my handwritting is not getting any worse then what it already is.

I write every day (in medical notes etc) and despite that I still have terrible writing!

I am in my 70s. Over the years my signature has gone from neat and organized to the point where I cannot write out my entire name. It is almost literally impossible for me to write the individual letters of my name. I wonder if this is computer related, and/or a sign of age?
