Serendipity

Serendipity! A word that's been etched in my mind for a while now. Ever since I saw the movie I think. There's something musical about the word; something mysterious. I looked it up on wikipedia - my new found friend - and there was a range of meanings and stories attached. But to me, the word serendipity will always be linked to the movie.
When I close my eyes and picture the word, I conjure up an ice rink, snow flakes gently falling on my eyelashes, the smell of dark brown leather...
...that's where my vision ends and I always open my eyes! the image has been captured and does not fail to recur.

I don't think I've ever really believed in serendipity. Seems too much of a fantasy to be real. But sometimes I pause, and shut my eyes and it all seems real...time stands still and nothing else matters. Every now and again I chance upon that time and place, but its a fleeting moment that's gone once I open my eyes.

I'm taking a leap of faith today and trusting something only half my gut is saying. Who knows where it'll lead me... But like I always say, if nothing else it'll add another chapter to the story of life! And it leaves you guessing and trying to read between the lines...
