true? kind? necessary?

dear god. literally, this has a bit of a prayer in it, for me..

one of the ways to be a practicing buddhist is to carry these questions in your head and apply them before you speak...
is this true?   (HOLY BYRON KATIE REARS HER HEAD AGAIN!!)
is this kind?
is it neccessary?

each time you go to say something, this runs through first... every single time... dear lord, i have a lot of work to do to quiet my overly boisterous inner voice. goodgrief.
in the everlasting quest to figure out how to talk to my hubsJ and my kids in a way that does not involve shrieking and running with knives around the kitchen over and over again, i am struck by how much i say that is wasted on the audience...
so, short of saying nothing at all and running into some large-size troubles...I'm working on it.  Try it.  holy mother, I certainly am going to be quieter around my kids.  How irritating it is to be constantly chirping, be careful... don't ...
i do realize after a while that i speak to the cherubic ones my body pushed out as if they were rough dogs on a bad day. . .
I don't see myself becoming a buddhist anytime soon, but I am starting to practice being the way I would like to be, in the hopes that it will rub off/in.
