Revenge is a dish best served cold.
I’m a good person, really I am. But sometimes when you are wronged, when evil entered your life and tries to destroy you, you just have to fight back. I’m not confrontational, I’m a pacifist for the most part, so my story is not what I would do normally. But I think I was justified. I’ll let you be the judge. To be honest, I didn’t plan this, it just took on a life of its own, but I was complicit in the revenge and didn’t try to stop it. And to be really honest, I reveled in the action and the outcome. They got what they deserved, all of them. But I’m getting ahead of myself, you don’t know what happened and why it happened, so let’s start at the beginning.

It's A Work Day!
Yes, it is an anonymous time, as names and faces cannot be shown. I can't share too much, anything that may identify anyone, except me. It is nanaboozhoo story time today. Then again, it may not be as there is not much snow on the ground on this day. Tomorrow will be different; we could have a fresh 7 or 8 inches of snow. After reading about 103 weather in other parts of the world, where they have summer now, I don't mind our weather. So what story will I tell if I need snow on the ground to tell a nanaboozhoo story? How about this one? Several years ago now, I was at a Tiospye (extended family or community group in the Dakota language), and an elder Lakota woman was telling this story, and her granddaughter was interpreting in English. Iktomi is a spider and a trickster. There were probably 15 to 20 people listening to the story. I've told this story over the years and have had some interesting comments.

Living in Balance: Why Holistic Health Matters for Mind, Body, and Family Wellness
Why holistic health matters becomes clear when families look at the full picture of well-being. Health is not only about avoiding illness. It is about feeling strong in the mind, steady in the body, and connected as a family. Many people focus on one area and ignore the rest. This narrow view can lead to stress and imbalance. A comprehensive approach supports every part of life. When families care for mental, physical, and emotional health together, they build lasting strength. Balanced living helps prevent problems before they grow. It also creates a home filled with support and understanding.
