Serendipity is a happy accident. It’s also a pretty good John Cusack movie.
When I think of Serendipity I think of an event that occurs over a short period of time that isn’t ironic yet it’s profound.
I like to think I have an example of Serendipity that occurred over a longer period of time.
I dreaded dialysis for most of my adult life and I did almost everything I could to avoid it. How surprised am I at the overall impact on my general well-being; the wonderful nurses that I get to see everyday doing God’s work for the love of the job and not the money; and the effect it’s had on my ability to empathize and relate to those worse off than I. I was already pretty good in the last category but now I’m even better.
It’s a happy accident that I am benefitting from something I once thought was the Ninth gate of Hell.
It is Serendipity indeed.
You’ve always been pretty good at finding the positive in the negative ( well when it comes to my drama), I’m glad to see you doing so here 🙂

I’ve felt similarly about certain things in my life–terrified to try it, but thrilled at the results. So glad the dialysis is helping you!

It is hard when reality hits us in the face but good to find out we have the strength to deal with it. And it’s ok to not be good with it everyday. ♡
