There are a few reasons why I love pen paling so much. It keeps you writing. Once you get going sometimes it's hard to stop. Sometimes you write things down you didn't even know you felt. It's a great way to organize your brain, vent, grow or heal.
Another reason, the United States Postal Service is in rough shape. They are always talking about their own demise. I don't want to live in a world without a mail system. So snail mail is the way that I support USPS.
You can make some really wonderful life long friends and learn a great deal from people far away who aren't much different that you or I, although diversity is a wonderful thing!
