How do you feel about falling?

I am at the point where I “move with a purpose “ and think about the whole trip from point A to point B and back. My driving philosophy is “Arrive alive” and now that is also my walking strategy. lol

@captboat That sort of awareness is key, and I love the catchy phrase Arrive Alive! Never underestimate the power of intention!
That gave me a chuckle. I have 3 short steps (two-sided) with only a rail on the outside, to get to my front door. It is interesting to see my friends approach - some walk around to the back side, to hold on with their right hand, others come up the front.
Almost noone comes up without the rail, each of us has either experienced or witnessed "The Joy of Falling." When entertaining, I stand on the landing and hand trays down to be placed on the patio table, which I learned the hard way after tripping on a step and dropping a tray of 12 margarita glasses (fortunately they were still empty!)

That is good thinking. Thank you for sharing! Every step I’m mindful until I get to where I need to be, mostly when I’m having problems/flares etc.. I have not driven since 2021. I’d like to return to it but am unsure. I wanted to go into an empty parking lot and see how it is. I live that. “Arrive Alive” !
