Happy

Merriam-Webster puts it like this:
1 : favored by luck or fortune : fortunate (a happy coincidence)
2 : notably fitting, effective, or well adapted : felicitous (a happy choice)
3 a : enjoying or characterized by well-being and contentment (is the happiest person I know) (a happy childhood) b : expressing, reflecting, or suggestive of happiness (a happy ending) c : glad, pleased (I'm happy to meet you) d : having or marked by an atmosphere of good fellowship : friendly (a happy office)


But me?. . .well my somewhat improperly formatted definition goes like this:
1 : music in the creating, playing, and listening (happy composing)
2 : mountains, rivers, trees, ocean, sand, earth (nature is happiness)
3 a : risk (happy to love) b : advancement (happy to fight the Good fight) c : persevering, pressing on, staying the course (happily believing that "we are the music makers and the dreamers of dreams" --A.W.E.O or, if you prefer, Willy Wonka) c : a state of contentment in sunshine and storm (happily "walking on sunshine" and "singing in the rain") d : positive perspective (happy to have this fantastic kind of view)

And that's only the beginning of my list
And, happily, I can see no end. . .
