Yes, and I just used it in an email I sent off an hour ago. Isn �t that a bit of luck? |

Geez, Pilar, my dictionary didn �t even have a "real" translation for the word. I had to have it defined in Google. ;o)
define:serendipity

Thank you, Mariannina!
OK, so we came to the conclusion that "serendipity" is a happy finding. Now, would you say you are a "serendipper" or a "serendipitist"? (couldn �t quite make up my mind...). |

Serendipity is also one of my favourite words and things:)
Serendipitist sounds better, but it sounds a bit like an oxymoron - I don �t think you can purposefully discover things by accident;D Maybe a person blessed by serendipity?

I agree, sulekra. The truth is when you come across something, IT actually comes to YOU, rather than the other way round! |
