Take a Break: Celebrate National Handwriting Day

National Handwriting Day takes place on January 23, the birthday of John Hancock, the first man to sign the Declaration of Independence. It was founded by the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association (WIMA) in order to recognize the reward of composing a handwritten note using a high quality writing instrument.

Celebrate by trying some of the following:

• Hand write a note and send it to someone

• Learn about the history of handwriting

• Try Calligraphy. There are lots of videos and links on line. This is just one to get you started.

• Learn about John Hancock and his famous signature

• Stop by a stationary store (Staples will do if need be) and try writing with different pens.
