It really is a simple question.
And why, or why not?
What would make you happy?

Usually when I made someone cry I used to hear these words (not that I do it on a regular basis). And always want to cry in reply and explain for hours how miserable I really am, but the most I can do is to have a stupid apologising face and shaking hands... Bloody awful I am...
I can't think of any other situation when I was asked that question. Does it make you first? ;-))
It is a simple question. But try to answer it seriously. And then ask yourself why...
And what would make me happy?
For my whole life I've been thinking that my moral principles and my inner strength and my beliefs and values are the most important things. And until I trust them and follow them - I'll never loose. I refused to adapt and compromise with the outside world, and never wanted to become its slave or a victim. I thought that I was strong enough to stand still in any 'storms' of my life. And I disappointed myself. That's the worst thing that could've happened to my ego! Here I am with all my 'pride' standing still and... begging for help. And the only person who can change the situation is me.
Thank you for your question. I will be happy again! I will.

Right at this moment I am not happy! I turn 42 today and am having a bad emotional day. I still suffer from the injuries I got while fighting in Iraq and am still fighting for my benefits. It is hard to take care of a family when you only have one parent able to work. There are many things to make unhappy and so few right now to make me happy! I would be happy if my government would quit dragging their feet and get my benefits started I have been out for more than 2 years now.
I hope this answers your question. I hope this little story gives you a reason to be happy! Good Luck in finding the answer you are looking for.

Happiness is relative. Relative to what you expect.
I just came from from a busy day at work, in which I got lots done and nothing went wrong or badly, and had a big bowl of cabbage soup.
Cabbage soup is one of those foods people make diets out of, so you know it's healthy.
I am getting ready to organize my DVD collection....
I guess there are worse things to do on a Wednesday night....
I am single and have not been involved with anyone in some time, but I am middle aged and do not have big expectations anymore anyway. I have already been married, had a home, raised a family, etc. I'm a happy middle aged divorcee.

I am happy most of the time because I find peace often and a great warmth in my heart for the little things in life and nature. My job gives me a great physical workout daily and I go to school on a regularl basis which helps stimulate my mind. I am always involved in writing one idea down or another and plotting out my future possibilities until my future is made clear through opportunity, wants, and needs. I'm a happy person.

Yeah, I am happy because I was born into a country where I am free and a family that brought me to God. I have the greatest friends a girl could ask for and the best school to get an education from. I believe I am a very lucky and happy girl.

That's a really nice question.. I'm happy and there is no reason for that. The meaning of our feelings can't be summarized in a few words. You should start believing in this now;when you are really happy you can't find the reason. I may be happy because the sun is shining, i may be happy because one old friend called me, because i just woke up in a good mood..simple things makes us really happy, i believe..

No, I am not happy.
It's a classic case of "I don't belong here". In high school, I finally ran into a group of people who were so much like me, and such excellent and devoted friends that it was hard to believe. I got into amazing shape, and met the girl of my dreams, who I am still with today. It wasn't all good, by any stretch - there were lots of problems to deal with, hard work to take care of, etc. but it was all worthwhile for what I had.
Then university rolled around. While I really looked forward to it at first, I soon found myself away from every single one of my friends, in a long-distance relationship since my girl went to another university 200 miles away, and surrounded by rich, preppy white and Chinese kids in classes of 500+ students. Having missed out on Frosh Week due to family troubles and living out of residence (not with family, so don't worry, I'm not the overprotected kind), I am now stuck, alone and antisocial, surrounded by individuals whose most intelligent conversation revolves around how their new motorcycle helmet cost them $6000 (I scrounge to get by, so I really don't have anything to contribute to those kinds of conversations). As strange as it may seem, I have absolutely nothing in common with these people, and even though I get by just fine, I'm rapidly losing interest in school (too easy) and social interaction.
What would make me happy... Just give me my old hell back.

There is a conference on happiness in London this weekend.
I can't go, but will be involved with a Buddhist Relic exhibition, which should be a happy occasion.
I'm happiest when I either don't think about it, or when I manage to do something which has been a challenge.

That stupid storm, why do they have to name them anyways, just so you can remember them better. So many peope DIED in that storm, homes destroyed people HOMELESS, and grand casino DESTROYED (grand casino was like my hang out even though i didn't gamble lol) so yeah it is a simple question but no then again it isn't because everyone in this muddy mississippi manages to spread a smile, to find hope in the smallest things, and laugh even when you wanna CRY.
