One Of My Favorite Words 8/16/07 In Gina's Quote Du Jour (Brooks)

I have one of my favorite words for you:

Serendipity

I think the word serendipity expresses a beautiful idea. It means finding an unexpected good thing while looking for something else. It's an appealing thought that there are pleasant surprises in life and that things aren't preordained. It's a valuable concept for me to remember...that there could be a beautiful surprise just around the corner...

And a quote about Serendipity:

"Serendipity: Look for something, find something else, and realize what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for." - Lawrence Brooks

Do I get bonus points for combining two regular features into one fabulous post? It was rather serendipitous that I should be looking for a Gina's Quote Du Jour and surprisingly found one that contained One Of My Favorite Words to boot...don't you think?
