Phooey. Who says you can't have it all? (Must be that dreadful THEY family.)
It depends upon what All means to you.
For instance, I have it All.
No, really--
An awesome God.
A wonderful husband.
A terrific daughter.
A cozy home to care for.
Friends.
Three cats, four mice.
Music.
A car I share with my husband.
An old TV (or two).
A computer.
A town full of potential friends.
Stars and the moon at night.
A backyard with birds.
Bookcases which runneth over.
Autumn leaf bookmarks.
An imagination. A dream.
Pictures hanging on my walls.
Painted furniture.
Old dishes and new ones,too.
A soft bed. Pillows.
Hot running water. A bathtub.
Clothes.
A pantry full of groceries.
Windows full of sun.
I'll wager you have it All, also.

Hye, I thorte you gave up on the mice... Hmmm, so you have relented, aye? Me thinks I might get some, again, too.
Maybe I can import some American mice. I think they will come with stars and stripes. Hope they speak our language.
I think we do have all that is good for us, for HE is our Provider, and we probably have a whole lot of stuff that is bad for us, that stuff which we accumulate because we think we know best. Hmmm.. Me thinks I may have to rethink the mice idea, as nice an idea as it was.

Hey Pete! Alas, I didn't change my mind about more mice. These four are the last ones leftover from the original litter born 20 months ago. It's funny, though... Just a few minutes ago I was thinking *maybe* someday I will get more mice.... They really are cute and I enjoy caring for them. Must be my maternal instinct acting-up, or something. Haven't seen any stars and stripes mice over here, but I will look for some for you. :o) I really think you should get some more....smile...Debra
I thought he wrote "a mice idea" ... (what???) refocus, oh, "nice idea." Yes, yes.
I thought it funny that you put cats and mice together in your entry. :)
