Well, I crossed in Spring of 2000 and am still a neophyte. I am learning EVERYDAY and agree that this is something that needs to be carefully thought about and them immediately and promptly PRACTICED!! High five soror for posting this thread!
My definition of discretion is plain and simple: being mindful of what you say and to whom you say it...making sure what you are considering saying or doing is appropriate and will warrant no negative reaction from those who witness your words or acts. If this definition is followed, which it CERTAINLY was by me both prior to and after Spring of 2000, one does not have to worry about their words or actions coming back to haunt them when they least expect it. Its all about you having complete control over what you allow people to know about you.
A quick and simple saying that has been engraved in my mind is "Loose lips sink ships".
Pretty much sums it up for me.
