Happiness..a given gift, or a lifelong excercise


So I am curious..
Are some people just born happy..positive people
And are others..always spry of struggling to get there.. Never quite satisfied..always having to TRY to be happy??
Or is it, location of where you,live? Maybe the neighborhood/town/state is just wrong for you..and if you moved to a ,ore suitable place..THEN you would be happy??
This is a question I think we are all plagued with, but tonight I am especially worried about it because of my husband
He Is similar enough to me, that I can understand him
But at the same time..I have lived with him for 10years and after this last move..away from our families, home, life and all the sacrifices myself and our two little joys have made
I find myself less and less patient with his " unhappiness "
Tonight I overheard him on the phone basically saying how much he didn't like it here, how he was just counting down the days until winter was over
And this made me sad .. Mad.. Confused
We moved here for his work after all..
And. Think I hoped that after passing his huge exam..then he would be happy
I am afraid... He is one of those..wishers..never quite content..never going to be happy types
Ever since I have known him he has talked of saving his money for retirement, how amazing retirement would be..
I just wonder..why waist life not letting yourself be happy.waiting for something to make you happy ..shouldn't it just happen?
