Happiness is the only good. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to help make others so.
- Robert G. Ingersoll

Happiness isn’t always doing what you want to do; it’s doing what you don’t want to do, and being glad you did it.

      I really wanted to stay up and do chores, but I couldn't resist falling asleep along with her. ;-)

    Beautiful! Recently I had my own shot at defining happiness, which aims to be more “scientific” and “objective” (as much as this is possible for a subjective feeling such as happiness):

    “A person can be considered to have experienced a “happy” moment if the person chooses to re-live it as an end in itself if offered at no cost.”

    For the detailed derivation of this conclusion please have a look at

    www.spreadinghappiness.org/2009/08/what-is-happiness/

    What do you think about this definition?

    Thank you,

    Nick
