BODY WATCH : Nurturing Friendships With the Power of the Pen

Since I have not seen or spoken to my friends for a long time, I write letters to them. It’s a way to visit when we are apart. Writing letters also gives me a chance to examine what I have been doing, what I have accomplished and intend to do. I am able to establish goals and gain the determination to pursue them because I have written them down in letters to friends.
