grammar - "I am lucky to find..." vs "I am lucky to have found..."

Originally in the monstrous question Compound sentences, the punctuation and mooore, which I am now trying to split up, I wrote the following sentence:




So lucky I am to find this site!




And suddenly I got pondering on the correct verb tense to be used.



I am embarrassed by the fact that the site is something I have already found, but the sentence contains not a trace of a past tense. Maybe it would be more correct to write "So lucky I am to have found this site"?
