WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT

Keep your message upbeat and positive.  Be thankful ~~ share a little bit of yourself
and ask questions; however, do not discuss death or killing and avoid politics
completely and religion in excess.   It
is all about appreciation and respect.  
Ask yourself: Will this letter bring a smile to someone’s face?
