    I define happiness as something temporary and superficial. Happiness is caused by luck, fortune and other worldly pleasures and only lasts for the moment. In that regard, laughter generally makes me happy. A good laugh instantly makes me feel way better.

    Now if you are talking about joy? Joy is a deeper feeling. Something that lingers and pushes through other feelings and connects to your very soul. Akin to hope. My God, my family, and my pets give me great joy.

    I don't know happiness but love is putting on boots to go for a walk at 6 in the morning because your dog is wanting it.

    These days I find happiness in simplicity. I live a simple, quiet life and I enjoy it.

    I love being able to cook my girlfriend and I a nice dinner and just relax, share some laughs and simply enjoy being with her.

    I also love that I have a solid relationship with my family. I talk to at least one family member pretty much every day, and my brother almost daily. I love seeing them when we can get together.
    And my niece and nephew bring the most amazing feeling of happiness to my soul. They honestly give me faith in humanity. Their innocence just puts my soul at ease. Something as simple as their smiles or laughter, a big hug, or an "I love you uncle Craig" just melts me.

    I also find happiness in music, nice weather. Both can help me drift away and forget about life for a while...

    ...and of course, my animals make me happy. Watching them, caring for them, and knowing they live well in my care makes me happy

    happiness to me is being totally content with who you are. that doesn't mean you can't change or there's things you don't really like about you, but that you quit being so down on or so judgemental to yourself about these things. accept that no one is perfect, and accept that you don't have to be either, and it's not a race to become your best self. accepting your flaws for what they are and either working on them or just letting those flaws be, whichever you choose.

    A good book. The smell of fresh pages. Reading a scene that was written just right.

    Yes!!! Absolutely!! I can't read books on a tablet or phone or anything. You just can't beat a good book. Even the smell of old pages. The pages themselves could tell a story.
