I read "Now Here Is Happiness". After I read your question I looked back and saw the other possibility. Very interesting.

I first saw it as now here is happiness. Then looked again and saw the no where is happiness. Guess I'm just level. :-3

Automatic mis-read :-

Now Where Is Happiness

I wonder what that says about me?

The alternative Nowhere Is Happiness didn't come until I stopped and re-read to see what it was you were asking.

ETA And Now Here Is Happiness didn't appear until I'd read the other posts - HELP!

I read it as Nowhere is happiness also.

I couldn't see any other way of reading it until I saw what other people wrote.

It suits the pit of depression that I've been slumped in for months. :( :o

I saw it as "Nowhere is happiness" but it didn't feel like a depressing statement. I felt quite energised by it...it was almost saying to me that I could relax and let things be and that I didn't have to keep looking for a seemingly elusive happiness...

I read it as "No where is happiness" the first time, which is surprising considering I'm a person with a pretty positive attitude :-6

But I didn't like what it said, so I went back to re-read it. When I came up with "Now Here is Happiness!!", it put a big smile on my face :D

Great thread, by the way, BSquared :)

One of the definitions of happy is "content". Whilst I enjoy periods of "contentment," particularly after a period of change, I would be so bored if content was all I had...I think I would feel stuck.

However, another definition is "esctatic" which sounds more enlivening but, there again, maybe even that would become boring...unless it was constantly changing and evolving.
