Defining Happiness

What is Happines? What makes you Happy? How do YOU define Happiness?

Here areĀ  some quotations that might make you smile:

I have to tell you something. I cannot help being happy. I’ve struggled against it’s but no good. Apart from an odd five minutes here and there, I have been happy all my life.

Arthur Marshall, Taking Liberties, 1977


Happiness is a Warm Puppy
