This was sent to me by a friend and some of it made me smile and nod in agreement, some of it confused me. I found myself muttering 'check', as I read and absorbed each section. How many did you 'check' ladies??

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...one old love she can imagine going back to,
and one who reminds her how far she has come.
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.
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...something perfect to wear
if the bosses company,
or the date of her dreams,
wants to see her in an hour.
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...a youth she's content to leave behind.
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...a past juicy enough
that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age.
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...a set of screwdrivers,
a cordless drill,
and a black lace bra.
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.
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...
.................................
and how to change a tire!!!!!!!
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...
...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.
