With friends?

With collection of 2000AD comics?

To crush your enemies.  To see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of their women.

Being happy is a state of mind. Life will have its ups and downs always. There are no guarantees, but you can choose to be happy wherever and whenever possible.  :)

Worth remembering that you cannot have happy without sadness.

Air-Conditioning on a hot summers day,
A comfy sofa in the cosiest room in the house
A book case filled with my favourites, aside from cable television, fast internet  & woman in the primal time of her life!

The last of which is happening right now & for long time!

Those not really in the order I gave them either, so, don't try to apply preference here....

Either sitting in front of a real fire with a coffee or beer in winter, or sitting near water with a coffee or beer in summer.

Just a bit of trivia.

Did you know that in the game Farcry Primal that the upgraded club called a Shasti stick or club might be another name for Happy-Stick, but only because I got that word...Shasti from some Russian pop's group song. That I found to be translated to Virus of Happiness or something like that. So, that word Shasti might be of Russian origin when the game developers were making up the language/words/sounds for the Wenja folk.

Just wondering if that may be distant reference to Wulf Sternhammer's name for favourite weapon.

That isn't to say, I believe Wulf Sternhammer is a Slavic-Viking. I'm just saw a connection there that was worth putting up here!

Different things at different times.

Sometimes a cup of tea and a good book, sometimes being out on the water on my kayak or walking th coast, always the company of my wife and son.

Feeling like a room without a roof.

Well . . . a ceiling. As rooms don't have a roof.

I meant to say beer before, but somebody beat me to it. So,  I might add that any liquid substance, that isn't air or gas, a body fluid, poisonous on ice or with ice.

Happiness is very simple for me - a warm house, a full belly, and a satiated penis.

The deep, satisfying ache in the thigh and calf which comes from a long hard session pounding relentlessly up and down [spoiler]a perfectly good mountain with a tea tray[/spoiler] strapped to your feet.

Also, a warm gun.

As someone with a general disposition of contentment I feel sad when people I know (mainly work colleagues), who have everything you would imagine would make someone happy, suffer from genuine anxiety if they can't 'keep up with the Joneses'.

Happiness is just having that kind of day, where you feel exhausted but satisfied in your work. Just spent all morning and most of the afternoon dismantling and reassembling regulators, gauges and cylinder valves. 25 sets done, very good work indeed.

Now early night off with a few pints and some ideas I want to write down for a webcomic idea I have. Yeah, not a superb day, but a happy one.

integral part of my life since 1977!
as such it really is part of being HAPPY.
