{two wolves}

I've been a bad blogger lately. Sorry. To be honest, I've been in a bit of a funk. Don't you hate moods like that? I do, and so I've decided to do something about it. Thinking positive thoughts and trying to stay motivated isn't always the easiest thing to do, but I realized that creasing my brow & frowning is only going to give me wrinkles & give people the wrong impression. So, I've been trying to smile more, and when my thoughts start wandering down Woe Is Me Lane, I think of all of the good things in my life.

Last night my mom sent me this,and I loved it because it's just so true.

One evening an old Cherokee Indian 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 old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

So as I begin this week, I am going to try my darnedest to feed the good wolf, and although the bad wolf will probably get a snack here or there (after all, I'm only human), I'm hoping he's a lot thinner by Sunday.
