Happy Continueing

What a Happy Ending is? This is what most of us want, but what it is exactly? It is a nice end of a story? This is great, but "end" means "finish," something that kind of stops there. So we stop the story when it has a happy developing and it has a positive message. However I would love it if instead of Happy Ending, i hear more stories for Happy Continuing, or a Happy Beginning. It is not enough to be happy just before the end of the story... I want it every day :)
Just my thoughts...
