We live in wolf country and have seen or heard several on our travels. Even once exchanged howls with a pack.


Here is a thought for this Thanksgiving Day. Love to All, Bill


Tale of Two Wolves

An old Cherokee chief is teaching his grandson about life:

“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

“One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.

“The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

“This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old chief simply replied, “The one you feed.”

I've been feeding my wolf a lot of pie and leftover turkey this week

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

I remember the wolves we heard off in the distance during our backpacking/Llama trip in Yellowstone...that was an amazing sound and rather scary since we were so far away from civilization.

On your story...great food for thought on how we sometimes deal with life... But how do we make sure we get food to the wolf that we want to win?
