You use the full narrative pallet that the novel form makes available to you. Different emotions manifest themselves in different ways. Some are very overt, some and entirely hidden from external view. Don't worry about doctrinaire interpretation of show vs tell; Use whatever techniques are useful in conveying to the reader. If you want a brilliant example of how to show that a character is feeling amazing, I can think of none better than the description of Mole at the beginning of Wind in the Willows: [https://www.gutenberg.org/files/289/289-h/289-h.htm#link2H\_4\_0001](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/289/289-h/289-h.htm#link2H_4_0001)
