This weekend reminded me of this word. And, of the movie. But, it's really the word that's relevant since I didn't meet John Cusack or anyone that even closely resembles him. But, I was struck with this word. All weekend.
The Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines serendipity as: the faculty of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for.
I realized this weekend that I've had quite a lot of those in my life, and too often, they had been left unnoticed or unappreciated.
But this weekend, I noticed them. I appreciated them. I celebrated them. And, I even added a few to my list.
Over breakfast today, as my friend questioned why certain inexplicable things happen, I told her that after asking that same question over and over again, I finally learned to accept that I do not know and will never know what the next day will bring. And that the things or people that make me smile today may make me cry tomorrow. So, I decided I would simply enjoy everyday. And what I'm finding is that life is full serendipitous moments ...
Like this ...
p.s. I was reminded of this post I wrote about three years ago ... and, I am in love again.
