I work through the emails, but still they come in. It's always been this way, ever since the internet and hotmail, your inbox a storage place for unanswered, unaddressed items, things to do, follow ups. It's never been empty.

But yesterday it was close. By the end of the day only 2 emails left, one from google analytics, another from an old friend that had sat there for several months. I have great excuses, I work on the computer, it's a poor tool for pleasure (for me), I'm a luddite, I've  phobia about email.....

SO I answered, I had been postponing, waiting for some great news or the right time to respond, but the longer you leave certain things the harder they are to address, finally, though, the thought that I was only 1 email away from an empty inbox, it was a sign, and so I responded, apologized, and now I have an empty inbox.

There's a sort of Zen Tranquility to this, knowing that there are no unaddressed items on this list, that in some small way, in one small aspect of my life, I'm caught up....
