I think I had an AHA moment! The Tuesday the tornados hit Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentucky, I had to drive to Jackson, TN to take my mother in law to her doctors appointment. After leaving the office I decided to stop at a store. On my way out of the store, there was a man walking in. He smiled. I smiled. I had my keys in my hand and unlocked the door before reaching my truck. I was about 8 spaces down from the front of the store. I put my package and purse in the passenger side and shut the door. I turned and made it to the end of my truck when I looked up and saw the same man walking towards me. I looked directly in his eyes and he stopped and started looking around the parking lot, searching for his car (which he passed as he was in the first parking space). I went around, got in, started my truck. The doors automatically lock. I was watching him in the rear view mirror, as he turned completely around and got into his car, which was in the very first parking space. I thought "HMMM that doesnt seem right" and as soon as I did, I remembered what Mr. de Becker was saying. I left as quick as I could! Normally, I wouldnt have even thought twice about it, just ignored him and got in. I'm so grateful that I saw this episode!
