I Am Happiest When:
- My plans become reality
 - I've accomplished what I set out to do
 - My family and friends are healthy and happy
 - I'm not worrying about something I can't control
 - I'm not stressed out
 - I'm with Todd
 - I don't feel obligated or resentful
 - I help someone and they appreciate it
 - I'm eating good food
 - I can fit into my regular pants and not my fat pants (yes I know it's contradictory to the one above)
 - I'm creating in my craft studio
 - I'm living in the present and appreciating my life
 - My plans are aligned with God's plans for me
 - I'm productive
 - I'm organized
 - I'm having spontaneous fun
 - I go on a run and feel like I can run forever
 - I'm not over-extended
 - I'm healthy
 - I'm not extra-hard on myself and accept my own shortcomings
 - I'm not extra-hard on others and accept their shortcomings
 
Well that seemed like a long list!  Some of them seem contradictory, but we're all human and being contradictory is part of being human.  
I definitely agree that letting go of stress and being accepting of yourself/others is a big part of being happy. I'm with you on being organized too. There's a calmness that comes with the organizing.
