You are certainly right about sadness coming from mind interpretations and the same can be said about all emotions and feelings. When I was young I was quite emotional. I had very big ups and downs and suffered from stress until I realised that how I felt was my choice. From then on I chose happiness and I chose to never get stressed about anything. It was a big paradigm shift and took a while to achieve. About a year. Every time I saw or heard something that had the possibility of causing an emotion in my mind I would stop myself from reacting straight away and I would decide how I wanted to react or what emotion I wanted to feel. After about a year I didn’t have to stop myself and choose how I wanted to feel, it just came naturally. Happiness certainly is a state of mind and we can chose what state we want our mind to be in.
