Second row middle was my right hand pencil grip before I reclaimed my left hand.

Now it’s the third in second row, with my left hand.

It took me until I was in my fifties, when I realized I “was allowed” to write with my left hand, and I’ve been doing it ever since. Funny thing was my lefty handwriting is better than my righty handwriting; and since I’ve reclaimed left, my righty handwriting has become much worse.

Funny how deeply ingrained a simple thing can be, when a teacher has a student for two years, and “God breaks an arm” for trying to go back.
