Since my first thought's not always my best thought, here's
How my plan to retire my Fixer has changed for the better:
Rather than planning a retirement party for one of
My well-practiced, personal strengths, I've decided to
Consciously shrink my Fixer's hat down to size until
It fits comfortably upon the peacefully rebalanced state of
My unconventional, newly relaxed brain, and
If you ask why that adjustment rode out of my think tank
Over the weekend, which has continued to overflow
With family fun straight through our family's mutually
Arranged plan to take Ravi to the playground, today, I'd reply:
My heart can't lock out anyone who proves worthy of
Keeping close by, so, The Fixer is sure to come in handy whenever
My conscious mind feels need to hitch a ride on
An intuitive train of thought that inspires me to focus
More attentively upon tunneling back in time in hopes of
Figuring out the true causation, which had forced
A deeply valued, heartfelt friendship to derail ... and
Now tis time for my think tank to switch tracks from writing to
Readying myself to enjoy today's play date with Ravi, since
I'm hoping to fend off total exhaustion till tomorrow for
This reason: Brad's plane does not take off till 8pm, tonight
Offering him the entire day to play with Ravi, whom
He loves and misses for months at a time, so though
I'm feeling pretty tuckered (because keeping up with
Family half my age as well as a fully stoked teen-ager and
A two year old dynamo for several days proves quite
A stretch for a person of my age) I hope to muster
The energy necessary to thoroughly enjoy our
House-runneth-over-with-people-we-love till Tuesday, when
All of me expects to thoroughly collapse until
Such time as my fully exhausted mind, body and spirit
Feel so naturally rested and refueled as to reflect
Ever more gratefully over my good fortune, concerning
The fact that my think tank has worked toward setting
As high a value on personal growth as I've come to
Raise the bar, concerning that which my sense of self respect
Deserves to receive from loved ones, whose conscious
Awareness has grown toward honoring my needs in
Similar fashion to the conscientious way that honoring
My loved ones' needs continues to pleasure me ... with
This caveat: During recent years, I've resolved to honor
The needs of loved ones within reason, suggesting this
Rebalanced change for the better: I've fully absorbed the importance of
Deepening my sense of respect for my needs, as well, and
As long as today's intuitive train of thought remains in
The forefront of our minds, I believe you and I may clearly
See why common sense suggests tis wise to keep today's insight, concerning
My newly remodeled vision of The Fixer close at hand when my stories unfold ...
