Basically I think happiness is when you think your life is heading in the right direction.
But,
I think my sense of happiness decreases when I think too much about it. I tend to be happiest when I just am. Just living the moment.
Happiness often times finds me when I am playing with my kids, when I am writing (as on Steemit), when I do creative work while drinking a cup of coffee, just to name a few.
well put! thank you!
