You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?

Fame-hah! But just in case: 1) I'll keep housekeeping -- cleaning bathrooms keeps me humble; 2) I'll observe the birds at my feeders--they remind me of my smallness in Creation; 3) I'll laugh at myself; 4) I'll step on the scale (enough said); and 5) if I need a wake-up call, I'll scoop the poop in my backyard--something my DH usually does (no small feat with five Labs and a mutt!).
