Andy's sister Connie shared this story with us recently

TWO WOLVES

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."


Andy worked for two weeks to loosen a bolt on our alternator so it could be removed and checked out. Kroil, "the oil that creeps", creeps REAL slow. Numerous Kroil applications, tool purchases, bangs, twists and grunts, frustration, anger and despair filled those two weeks. A torch was about to be lit when Andy read the Wolf story. He relaxed, thought about it, applied one more squirt of Kroil, and went to bed feeling peaceful, calm and hopeful. In the morning one quick and easy turn of the wrench released the bolt.

Thanks for the story, Connie.
