There is a tremendous potential effect that the decline of handwriting will have on our future history for sure. I'm actually starting a book about the subject - I've been talking about it for 12 years!! Finally ,I'm putting it down in words. Thanks for writing! Nice reflection.

Since handwritten notes and letters are so rare these days, they really stand out -- no matter what the content. Thanks, Don.

I would add the following: Put a bunch of stamped, ready-to-go small envelopes near or on your desk, along with a stack of matching note paper. That way, you've got everything at hand for an immediate hand-written message. And you're right: You only have to say a few words to make your point, like "Thanks," "You're the best," "I appreciate your support," "Good luck in the new job," etc. The thought is what counts, not the verbiage.
