sadness = happiness
This equation always holds true at every moment in one's life. It is just the way we interpret certain events that lead us to believe that one side of the equation is not balanced. But in reality every event cancels out some other or maybe itself on the other side of the equation. Because the equation above is a net zero, if we move either on the other side, our great sages wrote volumes and volumes on 'Karm Yog'. Do your duty, worry not about the results. However we are ordinary mortals, and it is hard for us not to try to run after increasing the right hand side of the equation almost with our eyes and minds closed.
Anyways, the weather here is so funny, one moment it snows or rains, the next hour it is bright and sunny. And about my separation from my beloved, I can only think of Ghalib's wonder sher:

ने मुज़्दा-ए-विसाल न नज़ारा-ए-जमाल, मुद्दत हुई की आश्ती-ए-चश्म-ओ-ग़ोश है.
"Neither there is the good news of our union, neither the sight of my beloved; It has been a while that there is peace between my eyes and ears!!" (discounting the fact that my ears have a slight advantage, since they have the privilege of hearing her voice over the phone!! :-D )
