Great things are awesome. Whether it's a nice meal, a pleasant conversation, or an entertaining story, they are all wonderful experiences. For them to be special, though, they need to be rare.
For example, if you talk with your best friend every day, you will regularly enjoy yourself. But if you only talk with your best friend every couple months, then it is truly special. Those conversations are rare and, because of that, they are more meaningful to you.
I think it is important to realize that great things can be common or rare; neither one is intrinsic. When a good thing is common, it may be taken for granted. And when a good thing is rare, it may be regarded as special. But when considering the general luck of your characters, don't assume that good things are rare.
