What is Happy?

I have been discussing this exact subject with a close friend and it has me puzzled.  What is happy? How do I know if I am happy? Is there such a thing a a happy life? Can you be happy and be yourself? Wow, a lot of unanswered questions on a subject that appears pretty cut and dry.  Either you are happy or you are sad right?  I don't think it's that simple, but I don't think it's that complex either.
My nature wants to be happy, but I generally feel like that I am always in a state of "if" or "when". Perhaps I am as happy as I will ever be and don't even know it. So if I get to "if" or "when" and I am worse off then what?  I have read several books on happiness and it still eludes me.  I guess step 1 will be to define what I think happiness is for me.  I have some thinking to do :)
