Being Resolute.

The Stamp Collecting Report, I’m Lloyd de Vries.

The beginning of the year is the time to make resolutions to do better in the next twelve months. For me, and perhaps for you, that includes what I do, and don’t do, in stamp collecting.

For 20-23, I hope to improve my exhibit, find a key item that I know I have here somewhere, and enter the exhibit in more competitions. I won’t win anything major, I just want to do better.

And the fact that I know I have that piece “somewhere” tells you about another resolution I need to make!

I resolve to update The Virtual Stamp Club website more often and even do more of these audio features.

And I need to be more patient and forgiving when something goes wrong. After all, this is a hobby, not my life, and it’s supposed to be fun.

What are your stamp collecting resolutions? Leave a comment under this piece’s script and tell us about it. Then come back in a year, and tell us how you did.

And that’s stamp collecting. I’m Lloyd de Vries of The Virtual Stamp Club.

The Stamp Collecting Report began in 1997 as a 60-second weekly feature distributed to CBS Radio Network stations by CBS News as part of its Weekend Feature Package. Eventually, longer versions were recorded for this website and a Christian evangelical shortwave service. The Report ended its CBS run in 2017 with only six repeats in some 1,040 weeks. It is now produced solely for The Virtual Stamp Club on an occasional basis.
