- On Having It All
Health
Having been very ill at various times throughout my life, I would say having good health is what really matters and everything else will figure itself out. I should amend my statement only slightly by including the good health of your family as well. Here is to good health and happiness!

so true!
Thanks for visiting and it’s always nice to find someone in agreement with your thoughts,lol!
I think having it “all” means something different for everyone. For me it’s health, as it is with you, and a big family and a home to raise the big family in. I guess for some, it’s money and nice things. I believe that to each his own.
Hear, Hear!! I agree with you completely, how are you and your family doing? I hope that all is well. I think of you and the girls whenever I walk Rex and Jack past the town offices.
health is the true person’s wealth!
So true, especially in this country, without health care insurance your good health is really your wealth, literally and figuratively. Thanks for stopping by.
This is the third time this week I have written…I don’t think we can have it all; but I don’t think we need it all.
Life is about choices, and our choices – good and bad – help us to grow as people.
I agree with you. Who came up with the concept of having it all? Is it a purely 20th century idea? I don’t think that the ordinary person, especially women, were worrying about having it all in the 19th century and even before then. Perhaps it came about because we have progressed, or so we think, to the point that we have too much time on our hands? I don’t know. It’s too much philosophizing for my little brain.
Hi there Tilly, Hi Laurie – one of the times was to me, as I walk off from the career for a bit. Something has to ‘give’ sometimes.
There seems to be a trend just now for people to give up on “it all” as an ideal. For most it seems to be an unhealthikly pressured existence. I’m all for balance.
Balance makes the most sense because it is very personal. Your balance might not work for me just as my idea of balance wouldn’t work for you. We can only do as to what works best for everyone involved. I like what both you and Tilly said, choices and balance.
