I really do envy people like you, who can be happy all the time. My center is probably more like calmness. When I think of my family and my life in lot, I feel at most contented. Happiness is just another feeling, and a disposition for some. It also is a word that sets off warning lights for me, reminds me TV ads selling laundry detergent, people deciding they deserve that red convertible, cults and religions making promises.
Perhaps this isn't what Molly means by happiness, but maybe what she does mean needs a different word.
