I think that happiness is different for everyone. Happiness for me would involve having my children be happy and healthy adults. I would also include the need to find relief from my depression. What I need might not be what someone else needs.

You might read Martha Beck's "Expecting Adam" for some clues. Also, "Watch Your Dreams" and "Men in White Apparel." Ann Ree Colton, "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock, and "Climb the HIghest Mountain," Mark L. Prophet.

Happiness is mostly dependent on happenings. It's mostly an outer, circumstantial thing.
Joy is what you can have regardless of circumstance. It is an inner thing.

happiness is being able to be more than content with the situation you're in.
