Dear Miss Debbie,

I am also curious on what you can tell me about my handriting. I am 89 years old...

Dear Curious,

A phrase comes to mind as I look at your writing: a lightness of being.

Your writing shows very little presssure on the paper. No force or heaviness but a lightness that barely touches the page–like a walk on a sandy beach but leaving no footprints.

After 89 years so far, perhaps you've learned to focus on that which brings you joy, love, peace of mind ~ that lightness of being. Maybe you've always been this way.

They say it takes more effort to be angry, to frown, to hold a grudge. It certainly takes more energy to hang on rather than to let go. Although your writing indicates some feeings of rejection and a bit of stubbornness, it's not a place you dwell.

This sample reveals your optimism, sympathetic nature, and ready trust. Maybe you believe in the inherent goodness in everyone. Why then, you might ask, do they spend so much time covering it up, holding back, not letting others see, worrying what others might think? Is it your sense of dignity–that desire to do what's right, what's expected–that makes you so aware of it in others?

Your writing also shows skill in using your hands or feet. Projects you find most fulfilling are those that can be realized or finished fairly quickly. The mostly printed script suggests a preference for building things–creating–from everyday materials. It may be a simple meal, mending and renewing what's broken, or surprising combinations that bring new life.

No matter how you choose to ease someone's load, encourage a brighter perspective, or continue to show value in those things set aside, your lightness of being is reaching out to others. You are leaving footprints for others to follow.

Thanks for writing!
