Bliss and happiness are not necessarily the same thing. I am generally content with my lot in life. I do have joyful moments spent with my kids or my husband...then there are those giddy moments when I got whatever new toy I have been wanting. God continues to bless me and my family so I suppose in that regard I could say that I get to stay happpy alot of the time.

To add a little happiness to your heart, I have given all that has responded in this discussion a (+) rating. I don't know what that will do, but it seems like a good thing.

I dont typically stay happy for very long. I usually just stay happy for the moment. It is a long process to stay happy continuously. I jsut wish I could stay happier longer. I think my life would be a lot better. It is just something that I feel that I need to work on. It is just a state of mind sometimes.

I agree it is just a state of mind sometimes. People get happy but not for a long time.

my happiness last as long as the reason of my happiness is inhabituel.even if the happiness is transitory because we can not be happy all the time like we can not smile all the time or be triste all the time

the good thing about me is that i can usually make myself happy, i just think about how i can improve myself or how i have already improved myself. for example i have recently lost a lot of wheight that was harming my health, so now that i am happy with my apperance i can look to further myself but i think that a good start is to improve your health.
