A woman should know...

mrsbrown4701 by mrsbrown4701 Talking Back(November 2006) (rank 89th)
  • Originally from an email from an old family friend... adapted and edited by me

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 employer or 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, 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 honoured.   

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
...a feeling of control over her destiny.
 
A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
...how to fall in love without losing herself.
 
A 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 tyre!
 
A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
...when to try harder...
...and when to walk away.
 
A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
...that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents.
 
A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

...that her childhood may not have been perfect... .
..but its over.
 
A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
...what she would and wouldn't do for love or more.
 
A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
 ...how to live alone...
...even if she doesn't like it.
 
A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
...whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally.

A 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.

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
...what she can and can't accomplish in a day...
...a month... ...and a year.  

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... .
..what it feels like to be loved...
...unconditionally.  

YOU SHOULD KNOW...
...who sent this to you...
...and why.

I would like to acknowledge...
I DO realise not only women frequent this site, and I have no less respect for men.
You guys have your "booby" calendars... we have "soppy" emails.

All of this is so right and thank you for reminding us that we are all our own women, with thoughts, feelings and a right to be her.

OOPS! edited
Sorry - when I originally pasted this here from Word, I had it all fancied up with cool fonts and stuff for email.... When I hit "publish" it all went skew-if!
I have since been back in and edited it all so it sits nicely now.

Was a bit hard to read before.
