Forty Years #33: Keeping My Hand In

Perhaps the best part of calligraphy is its connection with handwriting. We don't have to be practicing or actively creating calligraphic pieces to keep our hand in. It is in every list we make and every note we send. While I didn't "do calligraphy" for many years, I still used my pens and markers on a regular basis and wrote out recipes and made cards, place cards, ornaments, and little books to share with friends and family. What a gift!
