I find that amazing.
It's a beautiful early spring day here in my little corner of Indiana. About 60 degrees and the sun is shining. I've got the front and back doors open and there is a nice fresh breeze moving though the house. I just stepped outside and soaked in the pleasure for a few minutes.
It's mind-boggling to think about how vast the universe is, and even more mind-boggling to think that it generated beings such as ourselves who are here to contemplate it. It is even more mind-boggling than that to think about how fortunate I am to be one of those beings.
Life is hard sometimes, but knowing the above makes the hard times more tolerable.

(462 posts)You have the right kind of attitude. When things are going well, and you are at peace with the universe, sit back and simply enjoy. Life gives all of us these little moments, and it would be a great waste to not use them.
It makes no difference if you believe that God gave it to you, or that the gods gave it to you, or that Mother Earth gave it to you, or that it is simply a random moment that no one gave to you, kick back and enjoy it. Life is too short to spend it wound up all the time.
May you have many more like this, and enjoy all of them!

Heard geese headed north on Saturday morning, so I know spring is en route.
And yes, I love to look up at the night sky here, and be reminded of the vastness of the universe, and our little specks in it...
