Ah, To Be A Woman....

I think a lot. I have so many thoughts in my little brain throughout the day. So here is a little picture of my chain of thoughts that provoked me to post this new entry:

Recently, I mentioned in one of my earlier blog entries that as a single woman, I am doing my part in being the best wife I can be for my future husband for whomever he may be. Who says you have to be in a relationship to practice being a great spouse?



As I was thinking this, I had two more thoughts:

• Actually, it's important to be the best woman you can be for yourself. If anything, it's more important.
• Wow, being a woman is a lot of work, but totally worth it.

I then stumbled upon this little book about things that every women should know (STUFF Every Woman Should Know Author: Alanna Kalb) and I got to thinking: Oh my heck, pretty sure I don't know how to do every single thing on this list.... but I should.

Ladies, we should know how to do these things!
