Either that, or for access to them (for my children too) to be far easier than it is. That would increase my happiness, I suppose.
What would make you happy.

-Removed-I can't say that I am unhappy, really.
Perhaps unsatisfied with small things, but overall, I consider myself happy.
Always room to grow, I think.
The ultimate happiness, however, is the crux of the question.
Even if all the small unsatisfying things somehow (inexplicably or otherwise) went "my" way, none of them alone nor all of them together could possible measure up to that ultimate happiness in my scale of values.

If it gives you comfort to dream about waking up in "heaven", I say good for you. 🙂

Would make you happy.
As in, not temporarily satisfied, but truly, wholly, happy.
Me: Falling asleep, waking up in Heaven.

Prior to exegesis this and isagogics that, I just wanted to know the Dude behind it all, to say 'Sup and to sup.
Not that I thought I had much to offer, other than being His creation and thinking He was pretty effing cool.
Looking up at the stars as they moved across the night sky, I figured knowing the Who behind that what would be the ultimate of satisfaction.
