I'm pleased for you.

I'd say equally important was flying to Australia to meet my best friend who was in a nursing home from a stroke. He passed away earlier this year, I am glad I got to see him even if only one time.
But I'd be remiss to say it was only one or two events. I think the absolute most important era in my life was moving down here to take care of my late mother. We always loved each other, but growing up we were not good roommates and we didn't understand each other. But when I moved down here to take care of her, we grew very close and over time grew to understand each other.
Can you pin it down to an actual day? The day when you thought to yourself I love being alive.
Life isn't all up or all down, so I find the thread a bit utopian.
No, I have had ups and downs throughout my life, and ultimately my ticker will give out. So the only thing I can do is highlight certain moments, but there really is never "one" moment.
Life is worth living to me right now, even with all the ups and downs.
There is always a balance between quality and quantity, and over a lifetime you cannot pragmatically pin the good or bad down to one event.
I gave you examples of my highlights, but there was never 1 single event. I've had some shitty times too, like losing my mother last year.
