As we advance in
age we become protective of ourselves.
We naturally and intentionally heighten our self-awareness, but
unfortunately we get lax. From time to
time and when we remember to so do only, we look at the safety nets of our
environment. Much as we build this
safeguard, however, we still get on the slippery-slide side of accidents. Yeah … an accident is just that though ... a force
of natural incident added to our once in a while stupidity, clumsiness and
inattention!
Accidents lurk
often inside our living spaces, and they are ready to pounce, leaving behind
fairly avoidable mishaps. For starters,
remember your toe encounter with a corner point of furniture while simply
getting into a seat? That yielded and
left you with an awful pain for good five or more minutes. Do you recall dropping a water-filled glass
when all you want that moment was a perfect drink? That too, created an uncomfortable mess. Screaming as much and loudly as you did
nothing to undo the situation. And what
of the time you forgot to pick up a pot holder to hold or lift a hot pan handle? That left you a week or more of an excruciating
burn. Then just last week, you stepped
on a doggie ball in an unlighted hallway and you fell flat on your butt! That, definitely, was not anything to be
glad-funny about. Your tailbone really
screamed in pain for a month or two.
So what then? Nothing could really be a simpler precaution
than vigilance, dear friend! Do light up rooms, and
look down and around where you are headed.
Best yet, have a mind presence and watch out ... always!
