A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
A set of screwdrivers,
a cordless drill, and
A black lace bra.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
One friend who
Always makes her Laugh...
And one
Who lets her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
A good piece of furniture
not previously owned by
Anyone else in her family...


A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE

Eight matching plates,
Wine glasses with stems,
And a recipe for a meal that will
Make her guests feel honored.


A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
A feeling of control over
Her destiny...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
How to fall in love
Without losing herself...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
HOW TO QUIT A JOB
BREAK UP WITH A LOVER
AND CONFRONT A FRIEND WITHOUT RUINING THE FRIENDSHIP...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
When to try harder ... and
WHEN TO WALK AWAY.


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
That she can't change
The length of her calves,
The width of her hips, or
The nature of her parents...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
That her childhood
May not have been
Perfect, but;
Its over...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she would and
Wouldn't
Do for love or more...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
How to live alone...
even if
She doesn't like it.


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
Whom she can trust,
Whom she can't,
And why she shouldn't
Take it personally.


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
Where to go...
Be it to her best friend's kitchen table.
Or a charming inn in the woods...
When her soul needs soothing...
(OR A WONDERFUL WEBSITE WITH GREAT FRIENDS)=^..^=


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she can and can't accomplish
In a day...
A month.
And a year...

    Thank you, dear Cat!
    Thanks for sharing. Lovely, simply lovely. Inspiring. And, a precious reminder. Because sometimes, I think we unfortunately lose ourselves - or, at least a part of ourselves - along the journey. Not so easy to put the pieces back together.

    Thanks, again. Actually, I'm now inspired to try and figure out how to PRINT posts/threads! Wish me luck, could take DAYS... :-)

    Kind regards, 12/25
