What every woman should have and know to be yummy. (unknown author)
A Woman Should Have:
...one old love she can imagine going to,
and one who reminds her of how far she has come
...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 her employer needs to see her in an hour
...a youth she is content to leave behind
...a past that's juicy enough that she's looking forward to re-telling 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 allows her to cry...
...a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family
...eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honoured
...a feeling of control over her destiny...
A 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 losing 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 or wouldn't do for love
...how to live alone, even if she doesn't like it
...whom she can trust, whom she cannot, and why she should never take it personally...
...where to go, be it her best friend's kitchen table or a charming resort in the woods,
when her soul needs soothing
...what she can and can't accomplish in a day,
and feel satisfaction in reaching the target
...that there are people who understand and care for her,
even when she thinks that all is not right and she is alone
...for she will never be.
