 | Consider this question carefully before answering this question. Do you feel happy? Are you content with your life? For those who say “Yes”, are you sure that you are happy? Happiness is a big question. To your understanding, what is happiness? What are your criteria for happiness? An economic theory says that the only standard is to let them do whatever they want. Do you agree? |

| Am I happy? Yes. Why? I am in good health, have a good job, a good dog, a good friend, a wonderful gal, my brother & I talk regularly, my daughter is making a good life for herself and my mother is doing well. I am a lucky man. Even losing one of those wonderful features in my life would not make me unhappy, just sad at the loss. ...now if you can arrange for me to hit the lottery, life might get even better!!! :-) ...or maybe not! |

| Happiness for me= a good chocolate malt or a banana split while listening to classical music...... a sure sign that age is gaining. |

| Happiness is not a big question. Have less desire and greed and be content with your life. You will find that happiness is everywhere. Sometimes, a cup of tea or coffee makes you feel comfortable and happy. Happiness is not given by God. It is created by yourself. |

| I always come across as a happy person, even if things are not quite going my way, I keep on smiling. Alan |

| I agree with BBQQ. Happiness is not something that you have to consider ‘carefully’. If you have to consider it ‘carefully’, it means there’s already doubt if you are. And if you are happy, you don’t even think about it, you just live it. It’s just a matter of enjoying every little thing in life that many people take for granted. :o) For me, happiness is… Being able to sit on a porch on an easy sunny afternoon, book on a hand, some ice cold juice on the side. Be able to read books Be able to see different places Goodlooking men *cough* Oogling at goodlooking guys hehe…^_^” Be able to do cross stitch Watching re-runs of nice animes Watching my anime collection again and again The remote control The rewind button Finding a nice shirt/dress/jeans that actually fits good. Clean-smelling good towels Getting a big, big hug from my niece My niece asking me if I love her Me telling her that I love her. ^_^ Healthy family Supportive family Supportive friends Getting a big hug from my friends and colleagues A sunny 75F weather The sight of my cats rolling on the floor enjoying the sunshine My cats meowing at me while staring at me with their big eyes A clean patio and a nice green yard A shiny desk and clean office Music tripping Hearing from a long lost friend Playing with my cats Having a good night sleep Be able to roll on a soft bed with clean sheets Good hair day! Clear skin day! Fried rice & stir fried shrimp w/ spicy orange sauce Shrimp dimsums Fragrant steamed rice Fresh baby carrots Ice-cold pineapple juice Fresh, hot buns at Texas Roadhouse Zuppa Toscana at Olive Garden Ice cold water on a hot summer day Vacant parking lots near the entrance of Walmart on a winter day Weekends! Vacation time! A $22 full tank of gas Chance encounters with nice strangers Be able to have time to cook Having a great job that I love Payday! Heheh… Window shopping Sounds of the ocean waves at 10:00 in the evening |

| SHESGOTTOBE, have you done all the things that you listed here? You are really a happy gal. Am I happy? Sometimes, I am very happy. Sometimes, I feel very sad. Really hard to tell :-) |

| "Happiness is something You regognize after loosing it" All people can be happy, only stop thinking of better tomorrow. I will be happy when I have my wife here, maybe tomorrow, maybe after that. Carlos |

| Carlos, why should we stop thinking of better tomorrow? I dream everyday and hope that I can have a better tomorrow, especially when I was down someday. I comfort myself that bad days will be over and tomorrow is another day, better than today. Then I feel happy. |

| BBQQ, I did put my words wrong. Of course it is good to think tomorrow would be better. Or at least as good as today. I ment if only wait happiness to come tomorrow or some other time in future, then can not be happy today. I use to say: don´t worry about today, tomorrow will be much worse. That is a joke, of course, but when reverse it, the real meaning opens. Carlos |
