It is a peculiar western modern idea that people should always be "happy". If you were happy 24/7 then I don't think that you would appreciate it. If it was christmas every day it would get pretty lame. Anyway, I'm pretty happy. How happy can you be when you work like a dog and have screaming brats at home? I wouldn't have it any other way, but it would be silly to think that it would even be possible to be happy most of the time. I am happy when I am enjoying the free time that working hard and making money affords me. I am happy when my kids and family are sharing fun and joy. None of the happy moments would be possible however without the (figurative) shoveling the sh%t on a daily basis at work and home.
/pretty happy - no regrets
