Two Wolves

A friend posted this story on Facebook and it was so good, I thought I would share it with all of you.

Two Wolves - a Cherokee story

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 old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."


I love this story. The way in which it is told is so effective.

Such a good reminder to keep our thoughts positive and that what we "feed' we create.

This is a good follow up to a previous post of mine Buddha - Our Thoughts

I am also always blown away by the answers I get from the Universe. Just this afternoon my thoughts began to spiral downwards. And then along comes this post on Facebook. Just perfect to get me out of a bad space and back into a happy one.

Have a happy day.

Warm Regards

Snapshot of my week - Exciting

It snowed! I was so excited it snowed.

It rarely snows in my city. In fact in the last 23 years this is the second time it has snowed.

We get a lot of hail but not snow.

The picture on the left was taken when it had just started snowing (Monday, 25 July 2011)


Unfortunately we aren't high enough for the snowfall to be heavy and settle. But snow is snow and it was fun to watch. But it was so c-o-l-d.  The coldest day in the last 16 years, and we felt it.

Got to know this week that I am an aunt again to a totally adorable niece. And she has a facebook page!

Watched the All Blacks (New Zealand rugby team) thrash South Africa last night. The ABs should be called something else now as their jerseys are no longer "all black".

Went window shopping with my friend Fi. I have my eye on a few clothes but will wait for the sales.

It was an exciting week.

Hope you had an exciting and awesome week too.
