Thanks, Matthew. "Think before you speak" is akin to the focus I want where I don't react off the cuff so much. I would like to be more thoughtful in my responses. I don't feel like I am one of those people who says something just to hear themselves talking, but I could be perceived that way. It's easier to send unintended messages when you just say the first thing that pops into your head. Spontinaity is great, but I think sometimes a little more effort is in order.
