I wonder if you have anyone in your life who CAUTIONS you? Someone who helps you slow down when you are rushing through life, perhaps stumbling as you go? Or someone who gives you that special look or squeezes your hand when they sense you are about to say something you’ll regret?
When I was a young boy my father had that memorable ability to clear his throat in a particular way which let me know I was walking on thin ice and I’d better be careful what I would say or do next, especially if we were with other people and he didn’t want to reprimand or shame me in public.
