Hi ya'll fellow swappers!

As I've grown older, gotten more things in life, achieved more and more, I've come to notice how people - including myself - complain a LOT. There are always reasons to complain, every day. Some of my days suck so much I forget to be grateful and count my blessings, forget the good memories of a bad day.

At first, I came up with this idea for just me, as a challenge for myself, but then I thought this would probably be a good idea for a swap. Maybe - and hopefully - seeing I have good things in my life every day would help me turn more positive, like I used to be before adulthood with it's side-effects like bills and worries raised it's ugly head!

This is rather simple, but requires dedication and a few minutes of your every day - for a month.

Buy (or feel free to make one, if you have talent or just pure willpower :) ) a journal of any kind. It can be a small pocket notebook or a big composition book or anything in between. You may decorate the journal if you wish, but it's not a requirement. PLEASE, WRITE IN LEGIBLE HANDWRITING!

At the end of each day, write down a good memory of that spesific day, a special moment you had that day. It can be as small moment as a cup of your favorite tea in a quiet house before the kids woke up and the daily busy craziness began; or it can be a huge thing like your significant other proposed to you. Your life is the limit, but the time span in March 2015. Be sure you'll have your journal ready for the first entry by 1st of March.

In a nutshell:

  1. buy (or make) a journal

  2. write down a happy memory of every day in March

  3. send it to your partner in April

As I want all the participants in my swaps to be happy and safe, there are some rules: You must have a solid 5.0000 rating and at least 10 rated type 3 swaps. This is a time-consuming swap and unfortunately I can't angel this one, as I would have to keep multiple journals every day in March. NO FLAKING please.

Some of the journal entries may be rather personal, so by joining you will also agree to be 100% trustworthy and keep the secrets of your partner to yourself !!!

I've had to ban some people from this swap, as they have not met the swap requirements. Plus I found one double profile swapper, a swapper who has been suspended from SB before for serial flaking and now she has come back with a new profile. Shame on you, you know who you are.

All done and sent! How about you guys? :) I'm so excited!

Thank you for participating!

WOW - I was just archiving my swaps and found that I have not yet received a journal from my partner in Germany. Have I waited long enough to contact her? I always rate promptly.

I just checked. Hers was marked sent on April 14, I will be patient a while longer, a couple weeks anyway.
