Stamp Collecting

Collecting something?
I love collecting stamps. Finding a new one to add to my collection really makes my day. Yes, you can say I belong to that diminishing number of "nerdy" people who collects these small pieces of used paper. Stamps are fun to collect for a lot of reasons:

1) They are very informative. Stamps will make you want to read about a variety of things.
2) There are no rules, your collection can suit your interest and reflect your personality.
3) It covers a great assortment of subjects from science to art, history to sports.There is never a dull moment with stamp collecting.
4) It does not cost much to collect.
5) It is a great stress reducer. You can get lost in this hobby for hours.
6) It is not bounded by time. You can do them anytime, take a rest and come back after several months or years.
7) You can do it alone, or among groups.
This is an introduction to my future postage stamp features in this blog.
