I finally got through all the Black History Month topics on the Discover Our Glory page. I learned a lot - about events, people, and movements I was either fully unaware of or had heard about in passing, but definitely didn't know as much as about as I should have. I'm really glad I did this and hope to review it each year and add more to the list and to my knowledge.
Not too bad. I am realizing I am thinking about what I might be missing a lot. It was like my connection to the world and other people. And it’s not so much what other people are doing — although that’s a little of it — it’s more about what info I might be missing out on. What posts someone might be making on the school family groups or the local neighborhood groups. The “insider” info. We’re supposed to have snow tonite into tomorrow and it seemed likely that school would be cancelled. Now I know that the info would be posted to the school county website but I still texted a neighbor to let me know if she heard anything since I knew that the news would make it to Facebook sooner. Now I see how ridiculous that was but in the moment I could not stand to think I might miss out on hearing about it sooner rather than later. 🤦♀️ It’s such a crutch. And I hadn’t realized just how much. It was a one stop shop. Which is kind of nice but the need to know “right now!” mentality is kind of scar
