Here is a quote.
"Happiness is not a matter of intensity, but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony" - Thomas Merton
I like it because I do confuse happiness with... I dunno; excitement or joy or hyperness, even. Sometimes I forget that happiness can just be generally liking how things are, rather than being constantly filled with the feeling that you just have to smile or burst.
I had that confusion with the word "fun" for a while too. I thought I didn't do anything fun because I don't generally like things people consider fun, like parties or clubs or dancing and things like that. I was equating "fun" with "wild" or "energetic" or something. Really, though, fun just means anything you enjoy, which means I have fun pretty much all day every day. And I am happy most of the time, too.

This reminds me of when people say in their profiles that they are fun-loving. I mean, what does that mean? Who wouldn't love fun?
