Thanks for Zoom

Ok, hear me out. I am as tired of Zoom meetings as the next person. 😂 (In fact, a few weeks ago I had, I think, 4 Zoom meetings in 24 hours and it about broke me. 😂 Matt was like, “Welcome to my life” 💀) 

I already gave thanks for FaceTime, so maybe this is kind of a duplicate post but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I am also thankful for FaceTime!!

But on to the specifics of Zoom: First, since 2020, because of Zoom my kids have spent more time with extended family than ever before. Every Saturday for a whole YEAR! we gathered as an extended family for an hour on Zoom. My mom still helps Theo with his homework (GODSEND) and she reads with him too; and she also spent many hours reading with Polly when school was still virtual, and Polly was learning how to read.

Secondly, I have gotten to know SO MANY people these last couple of years that I never would have met if it weren’t for the ubiquity of Zoom. And most of them live in my local county!! I am so so thankful for that opportunity. My world and my heart have expanded more than I would ever have imagined a few years ago.
