The key to a joyful, healthy life isn't money, titles, or perfect health. It's the quality of our relationships, being known, being loved, belonging somewhere. Memphis understands this in our bones. We gather on porches when the weather's warm. Share a barbecue in the park, wave at neighbors across the street. At least we used to.
More and more our faces are lit by screens instead of sunsets, we scroll through pictures of people we love instead of sitting beside them. We are in danger of forgetting what connection feels like. So if you want to be happy, sit a spell. Call your mama. Share a sweet tea with a friend. Show up when it matters. Happiness isn't a prize we chase. It's a song we sing together. Stronger, richer, truer when all our voices join in. This is Dr. Scott Morris for Church Health.
