When you are
outside and you are walking on the sidewalk or through a store be aware of what
is on the floor.
Glance down
to see if there is anything on the floor you could slip on or trip over.
If you see
something on the floor and if you are capable pick it up or take with your foot
and push the paper or item under something or off to the side so somebody else
won’t trip or slip.
This happened
to me a few years ago. I was walking fast at dusk to get back to my car and
didn’t see a plastic bag on the sidewalk. I went flying off the sidewalk and into
the street right under a truck. The driver had just started its engine. The
truck driver thankfully, saw me and jumped out of his truck and helped me up.
He said, “I saw the plastic bag on the sidewalk and almost picked it up.”
