The Zinn Education Project notes that; “On May 23, 1838, the forced removal of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Seminole, Chickasaw, Choctaw and other Native American nations officially began — a land theft, massacre, and attempted genocide known as the Trail of Tears. A petition was signed by close to every member of the Cherokee nation (16,000) in protest of the planned removal. This resounding, democratic voice was ignored.”

A realization
And just like that (yesterday), granddaughter Lucy spent four hours in the pool at “the apartment” (her name for where Tricia and I live).
Lucy and I played in the pool for about two hours – when I finally had to give up. Then she played for another two hours by herself and with “my new friends” – a couple older girls and a five-year old boy. It was precious to watch.
BUT – here’s the point of this. When we were alone, Lucy decided we would play “car.” This involved her getting on my back and directing me around the pool. We had not been playing long when I realized that in my most recent self-care effort, I have lost a couple pounds more than Lucy weighs.
And just like that, I smiled.
