Addendum to Letter Writing Post

Last week, I wrote about my commitment to writing more letters and encouraged you to do the same.  I've just finished reading an article in "Good Housekeeping" magazine that I wanted to share regarding that subject.

It states that new research has found, in a study of soldiers recently returned from combat, that those who had received tangible letter from loving family members tended to have fewer symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder than those who had communicated by instant message and video chat.  They also noted that letters can be reread, which helps a person feel connected when they need support or are lonely.

So, just another reason to "say it with ink" as the article is titled.
