"Letters have a special aura. Firstly they are specifically to you and no-one else! Someone has taken the time to write to you and for that I am always both delighted and grateful. Seeing people's handwriting is so rare these days - and you can tell a lot about a person from their script."
"It’s taught me to be patient and waiting only builds an eagerness to hear what my penpals have to say. I think to take the time to write and send a letter is love in a form. It shows you care enough to sit and take time with this. In a world where most things can be done for us, hand writing is still ours which no one can take over."
"A letter goes further than a message or email. It's ideal for telling someone about yourself, thanking them, reassuring them or simply sharing a moment in your life with a bit more depth. To take stock of oneself, writing plays an important role. We take the time to reflect, concentrate, put our ideas into perspective, and plan ahead."
"Letters are one of the best ways to practise the language of emotion. In the process of translating our feelings into precise sentences, we learn skills that help us sustain relationships in healthier ways."
