I stopped using the word happy as my happiness always was dependent on outside circumstances. I'm not sure I "do" internal happiness. Contentment to me is coping effectively despite circumstances. It's like happiness is the temp and contentment is the thermostat.
I don't always succeed at contentment but for me it's a better goal than happiness.
I'm glad you're doing well.
