the importance of embracing happiness

When recovering from a mental illness such as depression, any happiness is greatly valued. However, sometimes it can be easy to simply not realise there are opportunities for happiness all around us. 

I believe it's important to take whatever happiness I can find, after all, I don't know when my next glimpse of it will be. 

I've discovered, over time, that learning to embrace the little things is very important. It doesn't matter whether the thing making you happy is a small or massive, it could simply be a nice comment that someone makes to you, or someone giving you so much more than you could ever imagine. If it brings you happiness then you need to embrace it and be thankful for it.
