Re: you're only as happy as.......
It's a difficult one and some truth to it I guess because if you live with someone who is depressed it does affect everyone's moods, but I think really most people are only as happy as their health allows. Anyone in pain will find it hard to be happy no matter how happy everyone else appears to be.
Our happiness does depend on those around us and on our own mood or health.
I always think we have to have some unhappiness to appreciate the happy times, and it isn't normal to me to be happy all the time.
