Unanswered emails

I love getting emails from nice people and I really enjoy hearing how my friends are doing.
However depending on the time that I read the email, my speed of response varies.
Sometimes I respond immediately. Usually  in short with some of my initial reactions and thoughts, other times I ponder the response and sit down with a glass of wine and reply at length.

There are also the times that I completely forget to reply.  Ooopps.

What I have begun to realize is that when I don't immediately reply, I spend each day thinking of that person for a few minutes. When I see their name in my inbox, I often smile and think nice things of them. Sometimes even of the fun things we have done together.

I think that is also nice.

So it's not that I am ignoring you if I don't reply to any of your emails, in fact it is often the opposite. It is that I am actually thinking of you every day until I do.
