After 6 months I finally have outlook working now that I have changed my provider, I have a look and find that my Dad has been sending me emails to that address (like obviously we have talked and emailed in this time, most of them are a few months old). There are like 50 emails, most of them are dirty jokes about Australia and football, some are photos of days out that he and Poppy have had....and then there was this:

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

..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

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

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 its 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...

All together now: awwwwwwwwwww!
