I wanted to take the time to thank 
Hive account@swelker101 again for the awesome 500 SP delegation I received from him 3 months ago in conjunction with 
Hive account@inquiringtimes and his great contest. I don't know if they even know how much good they did, but I am going to give them just a few of the awesome things that were achieved in large part due to me having this large amount of SP.
Along with 
Hive account@abh12345 who also has delegated me 500 SP, Hive account@swelker101 and Asher are the reason that my account has given out so many upvotes to so many people. So you could say (and it would be true) that everything that has been given by me in the past 3 months is due to both of them (and I know I have helped many newbies and minnows, so thanks on their behalf too). Your generosity was definitely spread around and used to build a stronger community!
First was the creation of the Newbie Nickle (a $0.05 upvote), it was something that I was able to give out because I had a good vote value and this $0.05 upvote gave many many newbies and minnows a meaningful vote. I used it on the games I hosted, which led to the creation of 
Hive account@newbiegames which is still running very good to this day!
Second, was the support that was able to be given to Dear Dawne. That program was a "ask the expert" type weekly program that featured experienced Steemit mentor 
Hive account@goldendawne. Every week many newbies and minnows would come by and ask questions, get help on their blogs, or just ask her how to get more attention and friends.
Third, and the newest, is the 
Hive account@dustsweeper program. Since I had a good delegation from both Hive account@swelker101 and Hive account@abh12345, I was able to delegate my own 300 sp (that I had earned) away to help further other causes. In addition to setting up the initial Newbie Stewards for #newbieresteemday and delegating 50 SP each to our first 2 Newbie Stewards 
Hive account@beeyou and 
Hive account@bashadow, I was able to join with Steem Witness 
Hive account@danielsaori and start up the amazingly successful Hive account@dustsweeper program by delegating my remaining 200 SP. So to me, this is also another wonderful program that happened because I was able to lend my own SP out too.
These are just 3 of the incredible things that happened as a result of me having the extra 500 SP from Hive account@swelker101. I am very happy and honored to receive the delegation, and I am confident that I used it in a way that helped others. I know most people weren't aware of how I received my SP (as its not something you just say everyday), but I know. And it is my pleasure to say thank you to Hive account@swelker101 and let everyone know what a terrific thing he did :)
