One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said: 'My son, the battle is between 'two wolves' inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.'
The grandson thought about it for a minute, and then asked his grandfather: 'Which wolf wins?'
"The one that you feed!"

Hi Bonnie,
I have seen that before and could not agree more!!
Hope you are doing well.
How's that bathroom coming along??
Take care,
Blessings, Nellie
WOW!! I am sharing this with my children. This is good stuff!
Hi Sweet Bon! I haven't done much blogging, but am starting to feel like my old self again!! Dr. said maybe another week or two!
Love this! So very true! And I love your post about what we think! We set our own limits so much of the time. I was just talking to Maddy about that earlier. If something I think should come easily to me doesn't, I lose patience more quickly than I should and may never follow through. RIDICULOUS!! I am only stealing from myself. I KNOW that I CAN make it work...just have to steer right through it. Wow!! Us older dogs can still learn, huh??!!
HA!!
Sure wish I could come give you a big hug, and sit and visit a while. How fun would that be!!?? Maybe one day!
Hope your weekend is going well. Ran is hunting and me and Maddy are having a great time just being us!
Love ya sweetie!!
HUGS,
Becky

Why does the evil wolf always seem so much hungrier than the good wolf???
