Happiness

Last nite while talking to a friend the question which pondered in my mind "what is happiness" ?, let me see if I can justify with an answer..
Happiness to me is spending time with kids, watching tv, reading idiotic fashion magazines, working out, clubbing whenever I feel like it....the list is endless. Basically doing all the things I wish to do in life. Happiness is a feeling of content about being myself and being accepted as myself amongst the people I care for and love in life. Thats why when the same people dont react in the way u want them to u tend to become unhappy.
Happiness also comes with a lot of expectations in life, from others, favourable outcomes. Twenty nine years in my life and I have never asked this question till date. A lot of people call me idle, say that because I sit at home without doing much of work my brains come up with some wierd and crooked thoughts, for all those who believe in that thought all I have to say is that I am content with my life, maybe if I went to work I would be occupied but it would mean I give up on my small pleasures in life, which I choose not to, I rather sit back and live each day in my life.
Many a times I have been unhappy in life, this time around I have chosen to look at life from my side of the table, never expect, the biggest drawback for a human being in life in expectations and hopes. I just believe in myself and live each day.
Each passing day is a stepping stone towards happiness for me, a day closer to the goal.
