Nice piece about letters, especially in stressful times. www.bbc.com/travel/story/20200414-how-letter-writing-can-bring-us-together-in-tough-times........“Writing letters engages practices that we consider within psychotherapy to be mindfulness. When we put pen to paper, we have a tendency to be more reflective and insightful and sensitive about what we write. The process makes us want to be the very best versions of ourselves. Writing letters uplifts others and we avoid the sort of negative ‘word vomit’ we see in social media.” although she’s clearly not read some of my feeble attempts at humour, this speaks to the win-win nature of letter writing, with benefits both to the writer and the recipient.
