I found an interesting article on the practice of "The Meditative Art of Attention" which teaches a variety of differnt meditative practices such as sitting meditation and loving kindness meditation. Zen teaches us to become more aware of ourselves and our surroundings, in essence, being mindful of these things.
Take a look at the link. Then really try the technique detailed in its pages. Zen Buddhists have a lot to teach about joy and happiness, and I think they may have some pretty good methods of achieving this. Let me know what you think.

It's good to see people mention the joy and happiness related aspects of buddhism, especially zen. All too often people see it as something very serious, but there are many moments where its good to be lighthearted in the practices.
