Fierce Furry Hunter Discovers Serendipity

Serendipity - I love this word. Serendipity is about positive luck, and stumbling into good luck in an unforeseen way. Although most of the time being in the right place at the right time has as much to do with how you place yourself and the work you've put in to prepare for the best possible outcomes, serendipitous moments do occasionally happen. The best thing about serendipity is that there is a word like this! To me, it means that all of us are capable of 'stumbling' into good events and good people in our lives. It seems to me that there are moments of serendipity in everyone's life. Finding money in the street when you weren't expecting to. Something being on sale when you have just the right amount for it. A friend saying something at just the right time you needed to hear it. These brief little moments are happy-makers. Our kitten had her own bout of serendipity yesterday - she caught a mouse. There was never a prouder, happier, or more fiercely cute hunter than kitten yesterday (before we rescued the mouse and let him go). Watching her walk on her tippy toes with her head held high in the air was hilarious. To me, this is a great example of serendipity because any mouse brave enough to come into a house with 3 young cats has a serious brain malfunction, even if it was -24 degrees last night. The very nature of the word serendipity means that this kind of good luck isn't something you plan for, it's just there waiting for you at the right time and place. As kitten would say, "Oh! Why helllooooo mousie!" Wishing you all moments of happy serendipity! All best, Rose P.S. You can also find me at www.weareallalittlecrazy.blogspot.com.
