Do you love to write in a journal or blog in your free time? Are you the designated photographer in your family who happily snaps all the wedding and family reunion photos? Do you hang on to old coins, baseball cards, and everything in between? Although we usually consider these types of activities hobbies, we often undervalue their worth.
