We at Princess Bubble believe true “Happily Ever After is not about finding a prince.
“True happiness,” the book reveals, “is found by loving God, being kind to others, and being comfortable with who you are already!”

APG, It sounds to me like you have some very wonderful, prophetic and insightful electronic friends. That is comforting! Being the old lady that I am, I would add that the human touch and face-to-face interaction add a lot to the happiness quotient. Best friends, family and fun times together mean so much in life. I especially like the comment by zach that helping someone or some cause who is less fortunate than yourself is also very rewarding. We all have a bad day here and there, but allow yourself only so much self-pity and then MOVE ON! Life is too short! I love you!

You know, happiness is fleeting — but stay with me for just a sec. I’m not downing happiness for what it’s worth. It’s worth a lot. Priceless, however, is an inner, preserving joy that has an unquenchable thirst for life lived. It takes the good and the bad, and makes the bad look not so bad after all.

We need happy moments in our lives, no doubt — I suggest ice cream.

Imagine everyone you meet is wearing a T-shirt that just says SMILE. That works for me.

Doesn’t work for you?

Then try imagining every attractive person you meet is NOT wearing a T-shirt that says SMILE. Ah, the power of visualization.

Even momentary happiness is a wonderful thing.

I hope my flippant remark at least made you smile a little. I certainly don’t want to belittle a serious situation.

One of the keys, I’ve found, to happiness in life is to never take myself too seriously. I actually have a very sober outlook on the state of human affairs, but I am able to find peace in it because I understand and am happy that God, not I, controls both the ends and the means.

Make art! Either composing music, painting, whatever. I bet dancing is a terrific outlet for you.

Singing always makes me happy.

I really like this speech by Steve Jobs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1R-jKKp3NA. Have you seen it? Lots of good lessons on how to be happier there. In terms of personal advise, I’ve found the more I focus on helping a cause bigger than myself, or contributing to an idea that I believe in, the happier it makes me.

Also, complete, random and silly and absurd things usually do the trick too. (i.e., mini rubber chickens; bubble wrap; sprinkle systems).
