It all

1 Comment

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable? – A great question from the daily writing prompt.

Having it all means many things to me.

First is if I wake and feel healthy, I realize I already have it all because without your health you have nothing.

I have it all when it comes to family. And if they and my friends are healthy and safe, we have it all.

I married the most beautiful and smartest girl in the world which was beyond all my dreams.

So far, I’ve been given the gift of time and that is having it all.

I have it all, but most would say I have little. And therefore, my point, being happy with all that you have been given. Be it people, opportunities, things or experiences.

I’m just as happy photographing my little old town a few miles down the road as I would be photographing Rome.

I made it through my professional career, having many warm memories and experiences. And made it to retirement and started my own new career that is having it all.

Grandchildren certainly expanded my belief in having it all.

I have it all, without focusing on having it all, all my life.

Having it all sometimes comes with a lot of hardship. That makes it easier to know you already have it all.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
