This is difficult question to answer. I can come up with a lot of "happy" moment for me. For example, sleeping time, eating delicious food, and watching TV, etc. However, I think "happiness" sounds like keeping more longer terms, and it is about future visions.
I found two answers for this question.
Firstly I feel happiness for the situation that I can do something I'm willing to do. Now, I enjoy ICU life and it is happy for me. I can go university and make friends, thanks for my parent's working for my school expenses. I think happiness means felling appreciation for somebody.
Secondly, it is happy thing that there are people who have relationship with me and help me when I am in the bad situation. Also, these people motivate me to do something for other people's happiness.
Mio,

Feeling appreciation for somebody may be where true happiness lies.
