Going on a long vacation or a sea voyage is not necessary to be blissful. Though, the experience would be exceptional and a once in a life time experience. Happiness is a state and hence, experiencing joy should be easy even during adversities. One should seek small measures of happiness every day.

The best way to come out of this would be to hug a near one just to feel nice and share a wee bit of love. A pat or a touch on the shoulder gives joy to the receiver. The smile on his face will make you smile with pleasure. Bear hug for happiness can be easily practiced.
