A hundred times a day our love of happiness is cut short by our even greater fear of it. A happy thought is inevitably followed by a "realistic" one.. We are willing to give up everything but our misery.
If we find ourselves laughing with abandon, singing in the shower, or whistling loud enough to be overheard, for some nagging reason we feel we must resume a "serious" state of mind. And yet its happiness that is truly practical and serious.
It positively affects our mental and physical health, our relationships with friends and family, our job performance, not to mention our relationship with God.
Happiness connects us with Reality ; Unhappiness disconnects us.

Hello Krishna,
Truthful words:
..'Happiness connects us with Reality ; Unhappiness disconnects us...'
Because God is always happy and we all are His creation.So the creation should not be separate from The Creator....which we often forget...
Thanks for sharing another good post.
God bless.
Salaam dear - lovely post and every word of it so true :) May we all strive to be happy and find joy in the small things!
All feelings , happiness , sadness etc. have the potential to connect to reality.
But seeking happiness always may not.

When we cultivate that spaciousness in our mind and heart, we will be able to include all things - happy and unhappy. Perhaps, there was nothing to let go of at all...
my warmest regards to you and your family,
