1. Happiness - Happiness occurs when a reality in your life (e.g. event, relationship, activity) meets or exceeds your expectations.
or
2. Disappointment - Disappointment occurs when a reality in your life (e.g. event, relationship, activity) does not meet, or falls below your expectations.
The best way of dealing with both happiness and disappointment is to identify a method to properly manage your expectations. The best way to manage your expectations is to recognize that you do not have the ability to change or control people or situations. Once you recognize that God is in control of everything that happens in your life, you will be better equipped to deal with both happiness and disappointment.
Here are two verses that keep me grounded when either happiness or disappointment surfaces in my life:
Psalm 118:24 - This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 30:5 - Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

I needed to hear this....
Even though I've had numerous disappointments and can be certain that more will come, I do thank God for the happiness he has worked into my life (health--good health, food, shelter, clothing, great offspring, family & friends)....I indeed am happy!
