a story i heard recently...
a friend (let's call him Tom) of a friend (let's call him Jim) had quit smoking. a few weeks later, Tom and Jim were hanging out with a big group of friends. Someone lit up, and as will happen with a group of smokers, soon everyone was smoking except for Jim.
a couple of minutes later Tom says to Jim, "I forgot you quit smoking. Do you want us to stop?"
"No," said Jim.
"But doesn't the smoke bother you?" asked Tom.
"No," said Jim.
"Doesn't it make you crave a cigarette?" asked Tom.
"Well, yeah," said Jim, "but I don't take it personally."

Interesting article in LA Times yesterday about accident prone people. I'm personally not accident prone, but know a couple people who are (no offense guys, but you gotta admit it is true). In "A Life of Accidents, a Quest for Answers," the author looks for reasons why some people are accident prone, or why at certain times people experience a rash of accidents or mishaps.
I always take accidents as a time to wake up or pay closer attention to my life. God's little wake up call.
