Thought I’d share something a little different than my usual Shaun’s Daily Inspiration posts. Smile
I’m not sure how long WordPress has been providing their “On This Day” feature, but it’s nice, especially since I’m not currently on Facebook to review my daily memories. The “On This Day” feature shares past posts written on a particular day, and on this day two years ago, I shared a post about love which was a reshare of a post I made on June 16, 2022, “Allow Love In.”
Saw this Facebook memory and immediately heard Earth, Wind & Fire’s, “Can’t Hide Love.” You can’t hide it so you may as well let it in. Just saying.…
Love
Soooo…
What do you do?
Do you let love in or not?
Thought it’d be fun to ask, so I’m just asking. Smile
At age 52 (soon to be 53🎉), I honestly don’t know the answer to that question. I have technically spent over a decade single—separated from my ex in 2015 and divorced in 2019. Y’all, it just dawned on me that tomorrow I will be 7 years divorced!! Wow!!! Time passes so fast!
Anyhoo… I always say I’m getting married again, but I haven’t even started dating. Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. A few friends have suggested dating apps (tried it before and I logged in and out within 8 hours—couldn’t get into random men looking at my profile😅). I’ve also been advised to get out the house, make eye contact, answer those men in your DMs, stop streaming and go to a physical church, go sit at Starbucks, and the list goes on and on. Lol. My dad believes I’m too mean (I just don’t have time for foolishness), and my uncles know I don’t put up with craziness. One of my uncles recently said, “You cut them off quick.” Now I’m sitting here asking myself— “Do I not give men a chance?” “Am I mean?”😂😂😂 I guess I need to learn how to be a soft girl.🤣🤣🤣
My life…
I know if I don’t want to be 80 or 90 years old and finally finding love, I need to figure something out. My younger advisers say I need to consider dating younger (but not too young). I’ve also been told cowboys are the way to go.🤠 We shall see what happens. Until then, I’ll continue focusing on my inspirations and finding more ways to provide hope, love, and support to those who need it. Maybe that’s where my love and focus are needed at this moment.
I hope you enjoyed today’s post. Listen, if you’re ready, by all means let love in. Life just isn’t the same without doing so.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
