Happiness Phrases
The following phrases can all be used in Spain (there may be variations in South/Latin America) to say that you, or someone else, are really happy:
Más feliz que un regaliz (literally, happier than liquorice)
Más feliz que una perdiz (literally, happier than a partridge)
Más contento que un niño con zapatos nuevos (happier than a child with new shoes)
e.g. ¿Cómo estás? … ¡Estoy más feliz que un regaliz!
Another favourite of ours:
Está como un pez en el agua – She’s really having a great time, she’s in her element, (literally ‘like a fish in water’. It’s strange that in English we say ‘like a fish out of water’ to mean the exact opposite!)
And if you just want to keep things simple, there’s no easier phrase in the world than:
Estoy super contento/a

En Google la felicidad se logra con meditación
