I would like to start a thread on this so we can share our experiences of serendipity.....it is when something happens that was unexpected but like a happy discovery.
Last week I was unable to take a shortcut due to a blockage with building work. So it was that I had to make a longer detour to go home. I came to an antiques shop and went in. I have been searching for a particular kind of chair that I needed for a very long time now....you guessed it, it was there! I was delighted. It felt fated - like a guiding hand had led me there.
Would you like to share your experiences of serendipity?
That's awesome Amy! 
🙂
I want to share my experience too.
The other day, while browsing some websites on net, i found a shirt with my first name on it, with a caption of "Girls Dig Guys With White Shirt", i fell in love on that shirt and i want it so badly! that's why i ordered it, but the moderator told me that the shirt is limited and already out of stock. That's made my day gone bad. It's just my nature that when i want something and never have it, it will depress me. So that night, i hop on the streets to clear my mood, that is the time i met this dude with the shirt i want!
Yes, he gave me the t-shirt! plus, i made a new friend! 🙂
Ha...that's great Brian! 🙂
I can share what is a better example of my personal experience with serendipity.
It was at a traumatic time when my mother had yet another stroke. I had been a part time carer for her (8 years) but this was about to change to moving in with her, i.e. becoming a full time carer. An unusual occurrence took place at that time.
My sister's ex boyfriend - after some 40 years - had sought to contact her via facebook. He had just lost his wife and was seeking solace in past memories. As luck would have it he lived local to me and fondly remembered my mum; I was touched that he visited her in hospital. So, at a time that I most needed it, I was suddenly bestowed with a new local and supportive friend who also happened to have been a carer (for his wife). That was some 2 years ago now and he is still a good friend!
sorry for what happen to your mom 🙁 but in spite of what happen good thing replace it. I'm happy for you 🙂
I hope you can share some more serendipity experience, i would love to read them all 🙂
