30 Days of Appreciation
Swap Coordinator:apeystar (contact)
Swap categories: Challenges  Themed  Letters & Writing 
Number of people in swap:8
Location:International
Type:Type 2: Flat mail
Last day to signup/drop:December 15, 2009
Date items must be sent by:January 20, 2010
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

The challenge is to write down 10 things that you appreciate, love, or things that just made you happy that day, for thirty days. Then you will send your paper list via snail mail to your one partner.

You don't have to wait until your partner is assigned to start your list. I've started my list on November 29th.

This is International. You'll have one partner.

Example of a day's entry: 1. I love my boyfriend 2. The cat woke me up with snuggles. 3. It was a good hair day. 4. My mom won the lottery and bought me a new coat. 5. ZOMG that new movie was delightful! 6. When I saw a snooty looking rich man pass the salvation army bell guy outside of the store he surprised me by walking back and putting a dollar in the bucket. 7. My friend adopted a kitten. 8. I didn't fall asleep in class today. 9. Post-it notes are love, they were sent to Earth straight from Heaven. 10. Warm fuzzy socks.

So you can get detailed or not, serious or silly. You can be short and to the point or long and flowery. It's your list! But please do try not to repeat the same item twice in 30 days! That's where the challenge comes in. :) You can type your list, it is preferable to hand write it out.

Any questions?

I don't think I have 300 different things happen to me in a month, LOL!

Cerra, it's the little things as well as the big! Warm socks on a cold day, for instance. (I used that one yesterday :P)

This is excellent. I've already started Dec. 2. I hope my list isn't boring to whoever is my partner! I will keep it highly entertaining as possible, if somewhat interesting.

Is it 10 things a day? So 10 X 30 = 300?

It's hard some days, but I love it, too! I have 9 days done so far.

Yes, it's fun to write my list of 10 things every night! :)

im on my 19th list

apeystar 01/ 7/2010 #

I'm actually having a hard time coming up with fresh ideas daily! any pointers?

Swan 01/15/2010 #

I had a hard time, too. I just finished, phew.

I noticed that it helped to be in or think of different situations. E.g. sitting at my desk I might think of different things than at night in my bed or when I went somewhere. And you might think of the weather, food, friendships, your hobbies, etc

It was also important to remember that these things might be "items" or "things I did or experienced" or "ideas"... I hope this helps.
