It can happen at any time, even if the day is not going so well.
It is hot out and very humid, but then the rain comes and goes and things feel fresh. You are at the Home Depot, loading up your truck with some sod and an older lady jokes if I'm going to deliver it to her house. On the drive home you see a huge rainbow, it is very thick and low in the sky, a little different from any other rainbow you have seen before. You get home and carry the sod and some edging and plants to the back yard, getting all sweaty in the process. A couple of new plants bring color where there was none before, you stop and crack open a beer and then a few minutes later you get a call from someone you haven't heard from in a while.
All of this stuff just happens, it's just a bunch of small things, but in one instant you realize that life is beautiful because without life none of it would have happened.
I'm grateful for this.
