What Comes Around...Goes Around!

If you know me well, you know that I fully believe the above saying! I am an extremely honest person- from telling you what I feel or what my opinion is, even when it is different from everyone else- I don't pretend to like something or someone if I don't- and I especially don't take things that are not mine or that have not been given to me. The latter is something that I feel very strongly about and I have worked hard to teach and instill that value and moral in Shea. Last night we went to Chili's and had a really cute, young waiter...now wait, I was really nice and not even flirty, I swear! Hey, I'm still recovering from my surgery- I was just happy to be out of the house and not cooking! I have a really bad habit of handing the waiter/waitress my credit card without checking the bill. Rudy always tells me not to do that...and Shea can mimic him perfectly saying, "That's a big no no!" Lately, I have really tried to make an effort and check the bill when we go out. So, last night we got chips & salsa that were not on our bill so of course I told the waiter (Usually you check the bill to make sure that they did not over charge you but in this case he didn't put it on the bill at all) to which he told me "not to worry about and then said that Shea & I were so nice!" He also thanked me for telling him! It happened at the grocery store as well where we got a box of cereal that did not belong to us. So the next time we went, I returned it to them. Shea thought it was funny that we just did not eat the Cheerios but like I told her, "What comes around...goes around!" I told her that had we eaten the box, our cholesterol would had gone up 50 points! I'm just really funny about that sort of stuff! Hey, what's mine is yours...but don't take something that does not belong to you or me!

What I would like my legacy to be is that of a person who took good care of her family and sang some songs that made a difference in some way. I hope I'll be remembered as somebody who was always down to earth and who handled her career and other people with honesty, integrity and class.

Martina McBride

I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.

George Bernard Shaw

No legacy is so rich as honesty.

William Shakespeare
