“A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them, “In every life there is a terrible fight – a fight between two wolves. One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, and deceipt. The other is good: he is joy, serenity, humility, confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, respect and compassion.”
A child asked, “Grandfather, which wolf will win?” The elder looked him in the eye. “The one that you feed.”

While working wilderness therapy.. the kids would have to read the story, "Two Wolves". As you probably can guess, they were asked at the end to evaluate which one they've been feeding and which one they'd like to feed. It's great when we can use metaphors to grasp aspects of our lives...
Thank you for blogging. It keeps me in touch with you. The "Food for thought" is a good reminder to keep looking up. I sure miss you! Mom
Whats up you stud??? Hudson is getting big, Hoyt is still a monster. He is sleeping. My new job is awesome. I love it, however, I am completely exhausted. Lots of work man...but I do love it. Dom and I watched Portland State whoop up on SOU last night. It was good seeing everybody, but holy moly....what a game in a way. Miss you man, wish I could've spent more time hanging out but life is pretty crazy at times. Hopefully some day we'll get to have that beer session. :)
