I Am So Glad That... #1

NOTE: I also host this same swap inside various Swap-bot groups. If I am hosting all of them at the same time (which I currently am for #1 of this swap), you can check the "Currently Hosting" section of my profile for the links to each swap. You are welcome to join as many as you want.

I. Send your one partner a naked, stamped postcard (NO envelope) before the swap deadline. Sender's choice; international. Don't forget to write the swap name on the postcard. Make sure to mark your swap as "Sent" on the site, before the deadline.

On the postcard, you write about any of these kinds of things: what you are grateful for, good things that happened in your day or life, blessings in disguises you were able to (finally) see about something or someone, things you are relieved about, what you are glad about, random acts of kindness that happened TO you, miracle resolution and solutions that happened to a stressful situation, things that make you happy, your favorite things, what inspires you, something about your partner's profile that you are grateful for, etc.

It can be simple or surface level things, or it can be deeper things, spiritual things, etc. You can talk about you having eaten your favorite food and then something good coincidentally happened, or the sky being sunny today, or you started new routines and life habits that are positively changing your life, or some surprising kindness that happened for you today, or your new life journey realization that you are on the right path... and so on.

Just please DON'T send or write about anything that is directly religious, political, or inappropriate unless you know your specific partner won't mind that kind of stuff.

II. When you receive your partner's postcard and the above instruction is fulfilled, rate them a 5 with a . (Yes, with a because this swap is to encourage kindness and generosity!!) Remember to rate me a Coordinator Star () for this swap, if you think I am a good swap host.

III. It's up to you how and what you want to talk about, or if you simply want to make a list of the lovely things that happened. You can talk about just one thing and elaborate on it for the ENTIRE postcard, or you can talk about multiple things without much explanation... and so on... Just try to fill up at least most of the writing space of the postcard (even though NOT a requirement).

IV. Feel free to start writing your list before partners are assigned, or feel free to wait until partners are assigned before writing. It's up to you. You can also start your writing with "Dear Diary" or "Dear Life" kind of things instead of your partner's name. The only thing I ask is that if you have 3s or 1s in your profile or you are new to Swap-bot, that maybe wait until partners are assigned before you write. (I will be checking profiles before assigning partners, and I don't want a wasted preparation if you may not or may not stay in my swap!!)

V. Partners will be assigned ON TIME at around 1:00am Swap-bot Time.

This is one hour after joining closes. If you have 3s or 1s or other issues, it is better to join this swap earlier and not at the last minute, so that there is more room for communication and potentially fixing things if anything happens.
