Saturated In Serendipity

Continuing on here with a little more serendipity..... because it's a fun word to say and play with.....

it seems this thing serendipity is not as elusive as I first thought.....

 it's there in that rare blue pitcher found at the thrift store,
                                                                      that matches my bathroom perfectly....



    it's in appreciating the green of the ivy against the abstract world outside....
                 
               

   or in that sprig of lavender you found in a cupboard and you tucked it there for now.....  



          

how about those antique salt and pepper holders which called your name while browsing one day........the comment made by a child that made you laugh because kids are just funny sometimes...


..(my youngest remarked when she saw these" oh you're being like grandma now....collecting all these salt and peppers:) My mom has an expansive salt and pepper collection...but I never thought of that when I purchased these!!


It's in that basket from a friend in Africa now, which still holds Christmas cards..... 

read this great idea somewhere....keep your cards out and randomly choose a card and pray for the sender....a good way to engage kids to pray and remember their family and friends.



It's in the echoes of summer that line the fruit cellar.....

and in the ready row of rubber boots in the mudroom closet...


Please accept my apologies serendipity.
 I didn't know it was you right here; disguised as my life.

A Word For Your Weekend

       I love the word serendipity and I almost wish I had chosen it to be my word of the year.
It may have to be runner up to embrace. Better yet I will embrace serendipity,one of the treasures that disappear if I try too hard to find it...
I hope you follow me through the trees as I ski around our property.......



                                                    


                       I came across this by accident the other day......
                                 rather serendipitously you might say...
                                       
                                                 
 
                         then I remembered oh how I liked this word.....
                           even though the meaning is rather absurd.
                
                                                           

                                                           

                                 Because it can almost make my head spin
                                          as I try to convince myself within.
                                                               


                               this thing serendipity; is something I crave,
                                but if I look too hard it will slip away.

                                                                



                             So with a  dose of dreamers hope in sight
                           my heart knows everything will be all right.

                                                                 


                    Wishing you a serendipity filled weekend......
