Happy is . . . .

This may seem like a weird post, however happiness has been on our minds a great deal as of late. I have asked myself questions such as "What does it mean to be happy?" "How do we know if we are happy?" "Is happiness a 'learned' thing or does it just happen?" "What things make you happy?" "Is 'happiness' necessary to mortality?" (Not to be confused with joy) I consider myself a happy person - just not sure how I arrived at that point or stay at that point. Its food for thought!
