Be Careful!

Confession:  I snicker every time I see somebody post "Be careful!" under a status update on Facebook.  The "Be careful!" people are everywhere.  For example: Jill Jones Getting ready to run my first marathon today!      Bill Jones      Be Careful! or: Janet Smith Excited about spending the day in New York City!      Jane Nelson      Be Careful! or: Jerry Burk At the airport waiting for the boarding call.  Can't wait to see my kids in a few hours.      Donna Johnson      Be Careful!    You get my point, right?  I love the "Be careful!" people.  Somebody's gotta warn others of potential danger.  I find myself being the "Be careful!" mom at times.  I'll admit I'm tempted to bubble-wrap my kids on occasion.  I have a "Be careful!" daughter who likes to warn me of potential dangers.  But, I've decided I don't want "Be careful!" to be my life's motto.  I've
