You have to feel the sadness in order to appreciate the happiness. I am a big fan of that because you have to feel those negative emotions. You have to allow yourself to experience those things. You can't hide them. You can't push them down. You have to let yourself get through that so that you can get to the other side of appreciating the positives in your life.
