Now we can march into those RWA luncheons and confidently claim our iced teas. :lol: I had the same reaction to the bread and drink tip the first time I heard it, Emily!

You’re my inspiration for knowing when to say WHEN on volunteer work. This year, I’ve definitely learned my limits. Great suggestion, Kathryn!

Claiming a simple thirty minutes can make a world of difference. I think I need to start practicing that one immediately! Catherine, you’re absolutely right.

Hmm, I wonder why he skipped the lesson on putting air in the tires?? Quilt Lady, checking the oil was one of the first things my dad taught me when I was learning how to drive.

Doesn’t it seem like letter writing is becoming a lost art in this electronic age? My grandma used to write me letters – they’d always arrive in the same plain white letter-sized envelopes, decorated only by her beautiful hand writing. Thank you for reminding me of that. It’s a good memory. Shana, you’re right, hand written thank you notes are so important. Doesn’t it seem like letter writing is becoming a lost art in this electronic age?

You’re right! It’s important to have at least one good meal up your sleeve. I’m honored that you want to share this list with your daughter. You, lady of many talents, are such a special friend.

I think that bread/drink bit is going to change my life! Seriously, that's an awesome tip. How many awkward moments could have been avoided if only I'd been a Disney Ambassador! But I'm thankful to know it now! I have always focused on the very practical things a woman should know, like how to change a tire, which came in handy just a few months ago. But the sad truth is, I think I've had to excise more toxic "friends" than I've changed tires. What a great post!

I think every woman should know her limitations and when to ask for help. Just because I'm at home all day doesn't mean the house should be spotless, a fabulous 4 course dinner cooked and my page count done in order for me to measure up. I've just recently gotten so that I can ask the DH for help cooking! What a wonderful post! I think every woman should know her limitations and when to ask for help.

I, too, love Katherine's suggestion of being able to cook a good meal. I also think women should know how to find half an hour for themselves in every day. Whether this half hour is spent taking a bubble bath, sitting down with a book after dinner, doing a craft, playing the piano, or just relaxing with favorite music, it's time that helps nurture what's special about us and helps us recharge.
