Bored, with the Basics
Bored, with Growing?....

I started learning the "Basics"of living from
the 12 steps -- the first thing I ever really stuck with. After that I started to learn the power of sticking to the basics & how it can be a guide for the whole life.
Guess I thought i was too important to have to do basics, plus i never really had a grounding in the idea of First things first-- or what on earth those FIRSTS were....They are all in the basics.
First-- a clean nest (home)
That includes my thoughts. When they are not right nothing else can be. That means putting lust, anger, fear,sadness & spirituality plus any troubling emotions in right perspective --FIRST. Then my body needs. Sometimes this is ALL I can do in a day-- and it is ALOT. And when I do this to the best i can-- all the rest will follow in good order, in HPs time.. (Seek ye first the kingdom of God & all things will be added....")
I've had my share of troubling emotions that have come up my whole life, mostly fear & a grief that was hard to face -- & taking a long time to face it-- ugly stuf no one wants to hear or belive even-- this unfortunately is a part of the lives of many of us. I used other feelings , work, addictions & more to mask it all-- yes even boredom &/or distraction I used to divert my attention from seeing the truth about me & life, & my life.....
One Day at a time Ive had to learn the Basics-- from the clean "nest" (home) , to a clean body treated with respect, & letting the troubling inner emotions (the base of my distress) come out, & to ask help & lean on the Spirit or Something Greater than myself as well, for this. And one thing THIS journey is NOT-- is boring! And it all starts with the Basics-- for me that inludes the 12 steps to "clean house" & abstain from addiction...

And always,,, there is so much More to be revealed! Dont quit before the miracle! I hope we will all stay for our own personal miracles to be revealed...
