"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting."
*Ralph Waldo Emerson*
Well, he sure wrote this beautifully, gotta say that!

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I've always preferred the understated. Always avoided the brash, the common. Always liked the different, the unusual, even the weird. The more interesting. Not for me, seeking the 'likes' of others, or needing to conform to be one of the in-crowd. Unfortunately, now so much of our world is fashioned on looks and imagery. It's all so transient. And so shallow: discarded just as quickly as it is obtained, just as soon as a brighter object takes our eyes. Fortunately I think that so much of what's best in the world remains hidden from the masses.
Not many things last like the written word: pen on paper. But we don't see handwriting so much these days. But, if you think about it, it is truly one of the most special things you will ever see. Text and email won't have the same longevity, and certainly don't have the same character. And text and email have literally no individuality. Even if you add emojis! It's still true to say the written word will last longer than the greatest memory! I know my own handwriting has worsened through lack of use. Will there come a time when we forget how to hold a pen and write a sentence? So much for the three R's, HMM ?

I find my handwriting changes a lot day to day, hour to hour, pen to pen. This is actually not a bad day. I find I wind up skipping some letters (sorry Worldworx) cause my eyes are faster than my hand. Never had a real great handwriting, my grade school teachers would attest to that.
I was tagged by sandra.harri10 and Ginny and the Units (writing) for this handwriting game, and if you see your name here, I'm sorry but you are tagged! You have to write the 6 things, your name and flickr name, right or left handed, letters you like, letters you don't like to write, the sentence containing all the letters of the alphabet, and 6 names to tag. There is no actual group for this.

Ever since breaking my pinkie, I write with my left hand for "longer items". If anything, I'd rather type. I was the person in high school that would wanna type up a math assignment if it was possible. I typed every.single.thing I could and teachers loved it. I love typing!

Jan. 23rd is National Handwriting Day. Use a pen or pencil to rekindle that creative feeling with a handwritten note, poem, letter or journal entry.
The lost art of handwriting is one of the few ways we can uniquely express ourselves. There's something poetic about grasping a writing instrument and feeling it hit the paper as your thoughts flow through your fingers and pour into words.
Did you know Comedian, actor and educator, Bill Cosby is the most famous pen enthusiast in the world?For years he lent his talent to promoting New York City Fountain Pen Hospital. National Handwriting Day is sponsored by the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association in honor of John Hancock's birthday on Jan. 23rd.
Hancock was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence and is famous for his large, bold signature.
I collect pens so I thought I'd take a photo to honor this day.

it is way too far on my 365 to still half ass photos. Today was very busy, because it's my mum's birthday tomorrow on top of that, I couldn't get anything near a decent or interesting photo so somehow i ended up with this.
I got a new phone today and it's ridiculously technical.

W B Yeats
'The trees are in their autumn beauty,
The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky;
Upon the brimming water among the stones
Are nine-and-fifty swans.
I have looked upon those brilliant creatures,
And now my heart is sore.
All's changed since I, hearing at twilight,
The first time on this shore,
The bell-beat of their wings above my head,
Trod with a lighter tread.
But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;
Among what rushes will they build,
By what lake's edge or pool
Delight men's eyes when I awake some day
To find they have flown away.
"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting."-- Ralph Waldo Emerson.
