A Woman Should Have....

United States
May 11, 2007 7:56pm CST
I received this in an email today. I thought it was pretty well stated and wanted to share it with all of you. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 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.. EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... What she can and can't accomplish In a day... A month... And a year.

Thanks so much for this. I truely enjoyed it. I definitely agree with the one about owning furniture that doesn't belong to a family member first. Gosh, I am still working on that one.

Yes, a woman should know everything, if possible. In fact, a woman should be better than a man. Home management is a difficult job and that should be done by a woman, not a man. And a woman is easier to live alone than a man, even in old age.

I saw this a while back in an email a friend sent. It's nice to be reminded. I think every woman should print this out and keep it somewhere, and check it once in awhile. I still don't have everything here, but I'm working on it. I think the first time I read this, I never forgot some of the things, and a few points in particular, I started working on. This has been very helpful to me. I didn't print it out the first time, but I will now, and I'm going to pass it on to my daughter and nieces.

Thanks for reminding us of some very comforting home truths lol. We all need a nudge now and then to remember some wise sayings and how to make ours and other's lives better and better with each day and not forget to be grateful and thankful for the opportunity to do so, even if it may be a bit of an uphil struggle.
