I try to remember to pause, but so far...
... Not doing so well. Often times the results are simply comical in my home environment, but not so much when I know I should be careful. Plus, I'm trusting, far too much, with people I should just not. Like an ex, in the current midst of a custody battle. I should recite the Miranda law to myself silently every time before I interact with him. (Because he will use anything I say in a court of law against me). LOL

With practice maybe it will get better? For both of us
