Serendipity
"Serendipity" is just a lovely word, in sound and meaning.

It sounds almost made-up, like something a child would name their imaginary friend. Whenever I use it while speaking, I get this tiny thrill... as if I'm pulling something over on my listeners by using such a delightful, joyful word while pretending to be an adult.

As for the meaning, I love that it conjures both random coincidence and destiny (or fate). The whole idea of serendipity reminds me to keep my eyes (and heart) open, as a moment is only serendipitous if you recognize it as such.

Other serendipitous thoughts:
- It's a soft yellow word to me
- It's great fun to write, and (for some reason) one of the few words in which I use a cursive 'r'
- The movie is one of my favorites, too! /grin
