My Inbox

I don't know about you, but often my inbox reflects my life. A couple weeks ago, I had over 120 messages in just 1 of my inboxes. My inbox often represents pending issues or replies that need to be written. Of course, some of you are like me and have a number of inboxes. Right now, I have 2 work email addresses, 1 grad school email address, and 3 personal email addresses. Let's just say that I don't have a single point of failure when it comes to communicating with the rest of the world. However, each of these email addresses serve a purpose, because they collect information from certain groups and are a type of filtering and organization in my life. As I work to get my life together and organized, I also see the number of messages in my inbox go down. I had under 25 messages in all of my inboxes this week. It was a momentous occasion that I can celebrate. Forrest Gump said life is like a box of chocolates...perhaps now I would say life is like an inbox.
