Thread rules:

• Finish the sentence "Happiness is..." one or more times in your post.
• Don't post sarcastic, offensive, non-constructive, belittling, disrespectful, creepy, or otherwise negative endings. If you can't think of something nice, don't post anything.
• Don't respond positively or negatively (ie, don't respond at all) to anyone else's 'happiness is' post, don't post anything other than "happiness is..." endings. Send a PM to individuals if you can't resist commenting on their 'happiness is' post, but don't add it to this thread.

I know everyone loves feedback on their posts, and everyone loves to give feedback on very cool posts, but this time let's try having a thread without that aspect of the forum.
