Letters

Letter writing is, for me, a therapeutic art. There is so much dysfunction out there, and so many reasons to be enraged! Rather than bottling it up inside, I have taken to writing letters. I send them to my elected representatives, to local and national newspapers, and sometimes directly to the person(s) who are the subject(s) of my anger. Not all of my letters are angry. Sometimes I write letters expressing my joy and appreciation. Following are a few of my recent letters to the editor. Enjoy!
