“You could have had it all,” they snickered. “A great
career. Lots of money. Nice house in the city. Fine clothes. Eat at any
restaurant you like. Why? Why did you give it up?”
Why? I’ll tell you why. ALL, what they call ALL…it didn’t
make me happy. I “gave it up” for this…for mornings looking out on this…
...for a husband who loves me…for great kids and grandchildren who know I love them…for peace of mind…for peace.
I think THIS is much closer to having it all than I ever was with their definition of ALL.

I'm glad you "have it all."
You deserve it.
=)
What amazing pictures. I see why you're where you are.
Thanks for stopping by to visit.
I can't think of a better retort! And the beautiful pictures really emphasize that point. :)
Some people don't get it that having it all isn't the same thing for everyone. Good job on this.
I think you have it all because you are happy, that's what counts !
Oh yeah. THAT is "all" right there. Beautiful!

The last is breathtaking!
Is this the view you wake up to every morning? Wow!
..
The best thing in the world is our own knowing and feeling of having it all...even if in others eyes they can't see it....but in our hearts we know....that is truly being blessed! Great post!
That's ALL I want, too.
The world is a glorious place...if we're not too busy trying to grab and grasp at everything.
This was lovely.
