That is so true. My health has never been great. I had a lot of fun in college without feeling true, bone-deep happiness. I met and married my husband in 1991. I've been saying ever since then, whenever the question arises, "Now is the happiest time of my life."
Even during my medical crisis in 2018, my happiness was undiminished. The love shown me only increased my happiness.
Even during Lockdown, my happiness increased enveloped in love.
