There is an old saying, "be sure to engage brain before putting mouth into gear." We should think before we speak. We should also think before we write.
I always proof read what I write before I post it, but sometimes, things sneak by. On Veterans Day, I posted about watching the draft "online." Obviously, in 1975, we did not watch anything online.
A savvy reader caught that timeless mistake on my part.
Always read what you write more than once. In fact, if you have to send something that is sensitive, have a trusted friend or coworker read what you intend to send. They may save you a headache later.
Just a few more moments of thought will save us from speaking or emailing words that we cannot take back.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
