When a friend or loved one says "Drive careful." I hear, "I love you and
would miss you so take good care of yourself."

Me too.. and all of that stuff that Sandra also said.. I have never taken
"be careful" as an insult or as insincere. I know when I tell my someone I
love to "be careful" when they go out, go to work, go to school or leave to
engage in otherwise "dangerous" activiites. I just want them to know that I
care about them and I want them to be safe and happy. It is a comforting
reminder to me too when someone who loves me urges me to be careful. It means
they want me to come back :-)

When I tell my 18 yo to "be careful" - I'm sending out every vibe I can
muster that she'll somehow take what I'm saying to heart and actually
BE more careful than she would be otherwise. It is not remotely just a
sort of blessing, when I say it to her, it is maybe more like trying to
cast a spell, though.

I always tell my dh to drive careful, wear seatbelt, take a walk, take a breathe, relax ect and he tells me all the time that when I do that he feels so loved. It's nice to know people really legitamitely (sp:) care about you. I have also been trying extra hard to be kind to all the members of my house when they are sick. This is something that was NEVER done for me and so it is not something that would come naturally to me. Gosh, what a difference a simple tea and a little babying does for somebody:) Kelli

I happen to be in the middle of transcribing a journal from when I was
18 and first in recovery. In one of my entries I mentioned that my dad
told me two whole times to be careful as I was leaving to go to a
meeting as it had been raining. I wrote that never, since I was 16 and
first started driving, driving in rain and fog so thick you couldn't see
your house from the driveway every night taking my boyfriend home, never
had he told me to careful. It made a huge impact! I remember the
feeling very well - like he actually cared.

My mom always took care of us like this when I was really little, but when I
got into middle school (and my sister in about 4th grade) she got a job during
our school hours, so we didn't get it as much when we got older cause mom was
at work.

My kids love being babied when they're sick. I love babying them (and my
husband) too! It's one of those times you REALLY feel needed :o)
