You found the secret of the Now Meerie... That's how Buddhists escape. Eckhart Tolle also makes a big deal about this now experience.
I just tap into that, while there are enough excuses for me to be unhappy, in the end I'm just a regular guy, I just consider it not an option. Corny as heck, but happiness is a choice, and a really basic and simple one at that.
I try to stay out of discussing this. Usually I get hit on the nose, with "You've got it easy." or stuff like: "How could I be happy? I'm in a wheel chair?" Happiness is not dependent on your physical state.
I suspect most people would answer the question "Are you happy?" with: "Let me think"....
Everyone knows the correct answer is derp
