"Many times our lives are scattered instead of centered." .................Rich H.

Whatever is not focused tends toward emotional diffusion. Many lives, scattered like leaves in the wind, are spent first dealing with one issue, then another, then yet a third. Nothing is focused; nothing is ever finished.

Healthy living demands enough of a central focus that something gets finished once it gets started. Lacking this we often return to fight the same battle once again.

Recovery demands not that we heal every wound immediately nor that we battle a dozen fronts at once, but that patiently, sanely, we pick one area, start someplace. We can spend a major portion of our lives waiting to discover just the right place to start. It is as if when we find that magical, totally clear issue to begin dealing with, then everything will fall into place and recovery will become easy.

Once we start, any place, we find that all issues are connected, and a bright window in any area of the house brightens the whole.
