A Woman Should Have

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
A set of screwdrivers
a cordless drill,
anda 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...
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...



This was sent to me in an email from a friend of mine that is male. I was pretty impressed with not only the message, which I hope to instill in my daughters someday but that he passed it along. So now I am sharing it here because often emails get ignored or deleted and I believe this is a message that needs sharing.
