the art of being happy?

It seems that when there are good things going on in our lives, we are sometimes happy or simply content, but often we are overwhelmed, self-sabotaging, and stressed. If we are happy, is it a false-happy because at some point those things that we thought were so good really weren't? They were really decisions we wished now that we hadn't made then, or they are places that ended up not being as good as we thought, or they were wrong turns in our lives. So, what are we to do? Are we to continue being happy in situations that may turn out to be the complete opposite of what we expect, are we to constantly look for the giant hole in the road, or are we to abandon our expectations, and just enjoy living in the moment?

I guess true happiness is enjoying the moment and our current place in the world.
