Milestones

For the past year or so, Dave's email inbox has been piling up with unread emails.  Yesterday, he found a way to mark all of his thousands of unread emails as read, so he would be able to keep track of all new emails.

He told me about this with a little smile and obvious happiness.  He said it sounded like a small thing, but that it was a milestone - he actually wanted to do something about his email inbox, and he found something to do about it.

There have been so many milestones in rapid succession.  He organized all of his classes and registered and is on track for graduation.  He came home from school and decided he wanted to clean.  He did almost all the paperwork for his thesis.  

This is incredible.  So cool.
