What was the last thing you fixed or repaired?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 14, 2009:
A set of bluff stairs;
concrete sack on
the shoulder,
and go
down,down,down
and then get
uppity
there for
some lumber
and tools or a
battery.
I also repaired the
relationship
I damaged
by stopping what I was
doing
when my son came in
and gave him
my full attention;
and listening with
both ears
while my beloved
poured out her heart.
I confirmed what
my boss said,
so he knew
what he needed
would be done.
I passed on this bit
of wisdom to
the new guy,
and helped fix
a fractured culture.
I fixed the
words of this poem
as I wrote,
maybe a no-no
in the writers world,
but a lot like
my professional
standards:
don't leave it
for the next person,
do it right
the first time.
Standards I can
apply to all of my life:
my relationships,
volunteer work,
hobbies
and passions
and spiritual path.
Mastering one skill
opens the door
to another skill
and new tools.
From master
to grasshopper
to master....
So I guess what i mostly
fix is
myself.
