Fixers
Some of us are fixers, which means we fix things, or at the very least we try. I’m pretty good at fixing, especially small mechanical devices. I feel good taking an object not functioning as expected, and through curiosity, skill and determination, along with some luck, returning it to this world with renewed purpose. So I came to the obvious conclusion I ought to be able to fix others as well. However this quixotic endeavor led me into a world of hurt, where no repair is certain, or always appreciated, and perhaps not even necessary. Those gift horses - time and experience, taught me to hold the brokenness, and then to ask it whether it truly needs fixing.
