When feeling hopeless, cling to joyful micro-moments like a shipwrecked sailor grips whatever flotsam floats his way.
Birdsong breaking the silence. The sun’s warmth on your skin. Warm coffee on your lips. A stranger offering a smile…
Cherish them.
They might be enough to keep your head above water.
Seek them out, acknowledge them when they arise, and recognize the whisps of happiness they provide.
They’re candles in a dark room. With enough, you can light up the night.
