In general, I like to think that I am a happy person. There are those moments when you think, "someone just shoot me, shoot me now pleeeeease." But, they don't really last too long. And then of course, there are the times when you think, "GOD, can it get any worse, I mean, seriously." (And of course it does). But, I am glad that I have been able to overcome the trials that have entered my life, and I hope to continue to do so. So many people, especially here on myLot, talk about their lives and feelings, I hope that happiness is a part of their lives. And, even through the difficult times, we need to be able to find a moment of happiness.

Compared to moments and long peroids of time in my past i'm content with how i feel. I am very happy and at times i'm even over the moon!
I do feel down from time to time but i've learnt to ignore it and get on with the important things which is my life and how i spend it. I love my baby boy, he brings me a huge amount of joy and i hope i return this to him. I always try cheering him up. (lately it isn't working because he's ill) also my wonderful wife puts a smile on my face too.
Kudos!

I am happy for you, and hope that there are more times of happiness, and peace, than there are of sorrow, and unhappiness. Your son will grow up happy in the positive atmosphere that you are trying to create for him. And, we need more people that have their priorities straight, as you do, in this world. Take care of yourself and your family.

I always think to myself just shoot me when I feel embarrassed. But it does pass fast like you said. I try to ignore what's bothering and just try to be happy. I always some issue going on that brings me down and makes me feel depressed. So I try finding a way to be happy because I don't want to spend my whole life being upset and not enjoying life.

Yes, me too. I don't want to go to sleep at night with a big rock on my chest or a weight on my shoulder, so I try to think positive thoughts and feel optimistic about the next day. Sometimes, I can and other times it can be difficult. I try to always have hope and faith.

On the whole yes, I am happy. All the experiences we face in life whether good or bad go towards making us the people that we become.

Yes, that is the way I feel also...we should realize that all that happens is what makes our life and what makes us the type of person that we are.

Yes, I am generally happy. Can you have to much happiness? No, it is like love. There is no measure of it and you can never have enough. To me, happiness is unlimited and I do whatever I can to create more for myself.
I think it has everything to do with the mind and the thoughts you keep in it. Happiness comes from within and there are no limits to who you are from inside yourself. Like, your soul is unlimited.
If you expect to find happiness in the outside world, you will be disappointed many times. The outside world is limited. It cannot provide you with a constant stream of happiness. That can only come from within.
How you think is how you feel. How you feel is how you live. If you think happy, you will feel happy. If you feel happy, you will live happy.

Very wise words, (and I mean that seriously, not sarcastically). Even reading your response is uplifting. And, you are correct in what you say, you can never have enough happiness, because we should always look for things to be happy about in life.

I think I'm a happy person as well. Thank God. I mean I rarely have times that I'm not too happy, but I try to overcome those as soon as possible. I think happiness is something we create, and for me happiness is in the form of faith. If you have faith, you are happy from within. Also, I think it depends on the people you surround yourself by. I am surrounded by loving people and loving friends. So I am happy and I am thankful for that happiness.

Yes, that is true. If we believe that there is always going to be something better for us, and work hard for it, it will come one day. I find that there are challenges that can weigh us down, but once they are overcome, there is a chance for us to continue appreciating all that we have been given, and to feel happy for our lot in life.
