Val will not be on the List for one week...

SignWriting List
September 28, 2005

Dear SignWriting List Members:

I am so sorry, but I have become too tired for the stress of this. I  
wanted so much to give you a good 10 Handshape. But I see I am a  
failure. I cannot please everyone.

My health has been frail for years, and I frankly, I want to enjoy my  
life. I want to be happy and to share writing signs with you all in a  
happy and relaxed way.

I wanted to please Stefan and others to make the 10 Handshape like  
the A Handshape and the L Handshape. But now that is not working for  
everyone.

So I will leave the List now for a week. I need to rest and relax. I  
will put both 10 handshapes into SignPuddle, so we all can try to be  
happy again.

In about a week, I will post beautiful lessons on spelling lessons  
for Kathleen Heylen in Brussels, who has been so sweet and patient -  
And I will work on the web site for Sergio in Brazil.

You are all dear friends and I want you to know that SignWriting can  
be a positive experience. There is great beauty in the writing  
system, with or without the 10 handshape!

I hope you all have a wonderful week, and feel free to write to me  
privately if you wish...


Val ;-)
