INCREDIBLE WOMAN #5 - KIM WALUS

Wow! That's a tough one. But I'm going to make a stab at it. Just so you know I'm not the expert but I do have some experience. LOL! This is the advice that I give myself!

* Remember to Be as HAPPY as you can BE! Being positive is important in dealing with life's circumstances and challenges.
* Remember to see the HUMOR in things. Laughing is really good for you and helps keep things in perspective. My husband is really good at this.
* Remember it's okay to say NO sometimes and that doesn't make you a bad person. It's taken me a long time to figure that one out in my life.
* Remember you're just one person and you need to also take care of that one person so you can keep being a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, grammi, friend, co-worker etc. Women wear lots of different hats and often it's at the same time.
* Remember to LOVE yourself for who YOU ARE and not for who everyone else wants you to be. Especially the world. WE are each UNIQUELY Beautiful!!!
* Remember that you have VALUE. You are YOU and that is a GIFT from God. That's a very important thing to remember!!! Sometimes I forget that idea and have to remind myself that God loves me!
* Remember that YOU can make a DIFFERENCE. Get out there and serve. Do what you can even if it's just a little something. Remember that a little something is more than a big nothing and that can make a difference.
* Remember to say OH WELL! Do what you can and do your best and then be okay with it. We can't FIX everything all the time!!!
* It's okay to Cry just not too long or your eyes will be puffy. Mine are ridiculously puffy and I'm not kidding.
* Remember to be FLEXIBLE. Those that are flexible never get BENT out of SHAPE!
* Remember to FORGIVE and try to see the GOOD in others. This can be a blessing in your life.
* Remember to GIVE THANKS to God, your husband, your children, your in-laws, your friends, your neighbors.
