What a woman should have

Got this from my friend Holly today. It’s worth repeating since it's good. It makes you think and smile at the same time.

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 honoured

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 it’s 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
