A Woman Should Have.....

A Woman Should Have

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .... 
-enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own,even if she never wants to or needs to... -something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour... 
-a youth she's content to leave behind.... 
-a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age....
-a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
-one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry... 
-a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family... eight matching plates, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored... 
-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... 
-when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY... 
-that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents.. 
-that her childhood may not have been perfect....but it's over... 
-what she would and wouldn't do for love or more... 
-how to live alone.... even if she doesn't like it... 
-whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally... 
-where to go... be it to her best friend's kitchen table.. or a charming Inn in the woods... when her soul needs soothing...
-What she can and can't accomplish in a day... a month...and a year...
