That's me to a T. I have to work at paying attention now. I fell a few times over the last handful of years, not being a ninja, it wasn't fun. Luckily I have solid bones and haven't done anything that lasted.
The last fall I took was because instead of looking where I was going I was looking at the people building a new house a few doors down. I stepped off my porch onto the edge of the walk instead of onto the walk. Down I went. It was at that moment I knew I had to be more attentive.
Every once in a while I find myself distracted and pull myself back.
