When the Wolves are Hungry, Let Them Feast

There is an old Native American story about how two wolves live inside of us, one evil and one good. The adage says that the wolf that we feed is the one that wins. Often, this story is used to encourage us to be positive and not entertain the evil wolf with negative thoughts. Kathy and Michelle have some thoughts about these wolves, and think that even sadness, anger, and "negative" feelings have something to teach us about life. In the end, Kathy and Michelle think that maybe both wolves need at least a snack, a nap, and maybe a little fun in their lives, like most of us do. We’re reminded that we aren’t our thoughts, we aren’t our emotions, but how we respond to the experiences and our stories about them leads to how well we live our lives.
