Happiness Is?
When your Kiddo texts you a photo of a coin he just bought in school! 
Just a circ crusty 1950's silver Egyptian Piastres with Sphinx on the obverse, but he bought it for 50 cents and did well.

Best part is I kinda tried to push my hobby on him when he was little and it just didn't stick.
I'd take him to shows and his attention span was about 10-15 minutes until boredom set in.
So this was his first doing the coin thingy on his own

Sometimes the coin bug bites early, sometimes much later. In my case, the coin bug has been chewing on me for most of my life.....

That's great.
Here are my recent conversations with my son,
Zach do you want to go kayak fishing? Answer No.
Zach do you want to go kayak lobstering at night? Answer No.
Zach do you want to go gold mining? Answer No.
Zach do you want to look at some cool error coins? Answer No.
My 11-year-old son is smart enough to tell me that he wants to design video games as a job so that lets him play videos games all day long doing research. I am like fine. you need to learn coding, game theory, graphic design, and a buncha other stuff.

Happiness is a state of mind and a civic duty. It is our resposiblity to one another to act happy even when your having a bad day. Public faces are important. Smiles are infectious and help us all to get past things we otherwise would not.

Happiness is like the weather. Sometimes its great sometimes it isn't. But Joy, well that's a different matter..

Being able to occasionally reap a little bit of rewards from this hobby (which can be sort of like a store of value) to use in other adventures.

But no.......I still have children (4) around 30 years old who are still having major difficulties sorting garbage waste from cardboard, plastic and glass alone from being anything numismatic in any way. Well......one does have an eye on silver and some gold when he thinks he's got a good deal but that's another story..
