DELETE OR DELIGHT?

Have you ever thought about the two words Delete or Delight?
Well, I have and the two are tied closer together then you might think. When I am reviewing each of my emails I am thinking, "is this going to be a Delightful message, or is it going to be a deleted message."
Most of the time I have to say that the messages are for deleting. As an information junkee I would love to be able to open each and every email and read their message. But I know I can't do that, as I would spend 24/7 doing nothing but reading somebodies message.
My family has an email correspondence network setup so then when anyone of us wants to communicate something to the family, we prepare an email and send it to the family list. This practice has saved me thousands of dollars over the past several years. My wife used to get on the phone to talk to her siblings, parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins just to gab and pass on the family gossip. Each month I would grit my teeth and pay the telephone bill, to the tune of $200.00 or more dollars. Thank god for email.
Of course email doesn't do yourself or your family any good if you don't use it with your family and friends.

I receive hundreds of emails a day, and while most of them are meaningless to me, every once in a while there is a gem that will pop out with a joke, a picture, a product, or a message that will catch my eye or my heart. If it really reaches out and touches me, I will save it for future reference, and if possible send a note to the sender, thanking them for the message.

Back to delete or delight; now whenever you look at all of the emails on your computer you can take delight in deleting or delighting.

Smile your on candid camera.
