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

-have something perfect to wear if the employer ,or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour.

-have a youth she's content to leave behind.

-have a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age.

-have a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra.

- have one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry.

-have a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family.

-have eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored.

- have a feeling of control over her destiny.

-know how to fall in love without losing herself.

- know how to quit a job,break up with a lover,and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.

-know when to try harder...and when to walk away.

-know that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents.

-know that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over.

-know what she would and wouldn't do for love or more.

- know how to live alone...even if she doesn't like it.

- know whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally.

-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.

- know what she can and can't accomplish in a day...a month...and a year

 

I like all of these but the ones in bold particularly speak to me
