"I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'" - Kurt Vonnegut

So what brought me to update today?  The quote in the subject line.  In his commencement speech to the 1999 graduates at Agnes Scott College, Kurt Vonnegut ends with the phrase, "If this isn't nice, I don't know what is," and that got me thinking.  If this isn't nice, what is?

The weather is amazing.  I spent some time prepping the garden to plant some vegetables, which I've been waiting to do since last year.  I also found some granadilla fruits (haven't eaten them yet, but just that I found them is pretty awesome and smiling heart worthy).  I ate a deep fried cannoli, and yes, it made my heart smile (I know what the health nuts are thinking, and yes, I see the irony).  I played two rounds of mini putt (and lost both rounds).  I got my eyes checked and the changes to my prescription is so mild that I don't even really need to buy new glasses, but (another smiling heart moment) because I have awesome coverage, I am getting new glasses (talk about privilege!).  I even had time to watch this really inspiring TED Talk: 

So, back to the original question, if this isn't nice, what is?

Edited after the fact:  The quote is originally in A Man Without a Country (also by Kurt Vonnegut), but it was while watching the commencement speech today, where he repeats this quote at the end, that I decided to update.
