My Answer Is LOVE

The Facebook memory above showed up on my timeline this morning, and it made me question what truly makes me happy.

For decades, I’ve tried to figure this out. Is it things? Is it people? Is it places? Is it food? Now, good food does make me happy. Smile.

I finally realize it’s LOVE. Love makes me happy. Loving God, loving myself, loving others, and being in loving spaces and surrounded by love. Even when I’m not in the midst of love, the thought of love keeps me happy.

Y’all, LOVE—pure, unconditional love—has sustained me for as far back as I can remember—the love from my mom, my grands, the neighborhood grandmothers, and aunties. Today, it’s God’s love, self-love, spreading love, and the love, smiles, hugs, and time spent with all of my hearts that make me happy. LOVE keeps me going.

How about you?

What makes you truly happy?

Listen, life is too short and too precious not to know or live in what truly makes you happy.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
