Happy?

Are you happy?

Growing up I don't think the question ever came up. Sure I was sometimes worried/stressed/bored but I was probably too busy to ask myself "Am I happy". I'm still not sure where I am on the happiness scale. I'm not even sure it's a valid emotion. 🙄

I'm happy right now, Dave. Just won £109.15 for a fiver on tyhe Norwich v Oxford match for correctly predicting that Harris, Sainz, Sargent and Romeny would all register a shot on target. And they all did it in the first half 😊

Happiness is for kids.

I'm content just to be content 😊

Interesting question actually. I guess everyone has their own definition of happiness dont they. Some days I'll be in a pretty good mood, other days everything seems to do wrong and I'm in a foul mood. Do the good mood days class as being happy?

Happiness is variable with me.  Generally life is (always has been) tough-ish and is there to be handled and survived as well as I can.

But then there are minutes, like this morning, when the sun was shining, the air was mild (after the bitter winds of Winter) and OH and I rested sitting on the parapet of the bridge over the stream.  Blue skies provided a backdrop to bare, but budding, trees; rooks were building and dropping twigs further down the road; a young robin and partner hopped in and out of the bank of the stream; a duck and drake paddled by..........

It ws perfect.  We forgot our woes.  We were happy.

I don't think happiness is a permanent state.

Sometimes you're happy sometimes you're sad. If you're constantly one or the other, or if you swing wildly between the extremes of the two I think you need help.

No.

Sometimes.

Get loads of all sorts of emotions.

Happiness is within yourself, regardless of what is happening in your life.  It's about the simple things in life - looking at the sky, sunset, being in nature.  Nobody is happy all of the time but you can be content
