I do use my handwriting a lot. I used to print it on the computer but then it is harder to put your journaling where you want it without a big box background.
I almost always hand-write my journaling. This is why: my dad suffered severe injury to his right hand a couple months before I was born; he always had some pain and his handwriting was a bit hard to read. He died in 1985; and I found that I missed getting cards and letters in his sloppy script. I realized that sometimes the handwriting itself is as precious as the message. It's real and personal, and a trait that was unique to him. I hope my kids and grandkids feel the same way about the way I write our family's stories.
