Do you have any? 

  • cutting vegetables while also talking on the phone
  • hanging up Christmas lights on the roof 
  • texting and driving 

Or, in my case, flipping up the side flap on the lawn mower while it’s running. Well, this past weekend, that careless habit caught up with me. 

A visit to the emergency room and surgery reinforced two words in my brain regarding that practice of clearing the grass clippings from the mower: Never again! 

We know it’s dangerous, but we tend to do it anyway. Sometimes, it is out of habit, convenience, or a lack of self-discipline. 

Whatever your careless habit is, there is still time to stop it before something terrible happens.
