Serendipity

Serendipity! Isn't that a beautiful word?

I met my husband on the NYC subway platform, more years ago than I am going to share with you, while I was "expressing my displeasure" with yet another train going out of service. He still treats me like we just met and he is trying to impress me.

Last year while at a party discussing our recent trip to Rome, we found out about cousins of his, we didn't know he had, in Bari. We promptly dashed off to visit. We had planned to go to Venice anyway, so we just changed destination. Small detail that they don't speak English and our Italian can barely keep us out of trouble. We had an excellent time! Allora!

Sometimes some of the best things in life come to us when we are not seeking.
