I could fill pages trying to explain the story behind this pic, or just post it and let you make of it what you will:

Winter Slushyland
The rain we’ve been getting all week turned to snow last night.
This was a surprise; I’d heard the snow level was supposed to start at 6000ft elevation and we’re only at 4000ft. The kids are happy — the schools are closed, so they get a 3-day weekend.
I’m loving this weather. We desperately need all the rain/snow/whatever form of water falling from the sky that we can get.
It’s starting to come down heavier, and now the forecast says more snow tomorrow. Glad I just stocked up on supplies and filled the firewood rack! Being snowed in for a few days is kind of cozy and nice as long as there’s no shortage of food, heat or dry socks.

The Two Wolves
My new friend sent me this great story yesterday:
An old Cherokee chief is teaching his grandson about life.
“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.”
“One is dark — he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.”
“The other is light — he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”
“This same fight is going on inside you — and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old chief simply replied, “The one you feed.”
[EDIT: It can be difficult to track down the original source of an image on the Internet, and sometimes I end up using an artist’s work without being able to find or credit him or her. That’s what happened in this case, but there’s a happy ending: the artist, Paul Bielaczy, contacted me and provided a link to his website. If you like the Yin Lang Wolf please do go and look at the rest of his work!]
