Is it just me or does everyone feel sad at the beginning of Lord of the Rings (book)?

I feel very happy in the begining of the FotR. To me it's so jovial and carefree, that it's relaxing almost to read about the quaintness of the Shire. But after Bilbo leaves for Rivendell, yes I do feel an evil foreboding. I think I start to feel a little mournful that the hobbits have been living in this tranquility for hundreds of years and because they don't expect a change to come; thye will take it harder than any of the other races of people because of their safe seclusion (Thanks to the Rangers of course).
