I personally prefer terms like “Contentment ” or well being to happiness and pleasure.
Happiness is too stretched and relative while pleasure is variable and slippery, I was pleased to meet an old friend then I started to notice how different views/ attitudes/ … we are now adopting and felt I no longer enjoy his//her company. or I am really hungry and I ordered a massive meal, yes it’s delicious but I am full, I can’t get anymore of it.
So the happiness I mean in my posts is more of “contentment or “wellness”.
