HAPPINESSYES.
I've read a great many books on the topic of happiness and gratitude in recent years. It's wonderful that there appears to be a definite shift in people's perceptions or expectations of what defines happy-ness*. No longer do we assume that happiness is limited to those with bucket-loads of money, or those who live in a state of constant hysterical laughter. We have grown enough as a people to understand that different people express and feel happiness in different ways.
