ser·en·dip·i·ty/ˌserənˈdipitē/ Noun: The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way: "a fortunate stroke of serendipity."
I love the movie Serendipity, not only because it is such a sweet, romantic comedy, but the title of the movie is one of my favorite words. Over the summer, I would joke with Andrew about my favorite words and how one day I would make a list with all of them including moxie, soil, opines, façade, tchotchke and serendipity. Sometimes the words would make my list just because I would like to say them aloud, yet other times it is because of the meaning of the word.
Serendipity is because of both.
Do I believe in serendipity? Yes. I do believe that some things are meant to happen whether it is referred to as fate, chance, destiny or serendipity, I find it hard to believe it doesn't exist. It just sounds more intriguing when it is referred to as serendipity.
Saying the word serendipity makes me smile.
