What is happiness?

Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure or joy.

(I wanted to write some big spiel on what happiness is, but I kept looking at the answer given by Wikpedia above and couldn't get anywhere. It sums it up, and to be honest I always like sweet, short and to the point answers. The truth is we choose to be happy! I'm just at a point in my life where I am looking at what truly makes me happy.) This blog is for my own theraputic reasons. Please don't judge. It's me ranting. It doesn't always come out how I'd like.
