Celebrate the Small Things

Vikki at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author has started a meme where every Friday we post what we are celebrating for the week. Thanks Vikki.
This week I'm celebrating coincidences. I have encountered a lot of them this week. No matter how many I had, I still found it freaky weird. 

I'd give you an example, but it wouldn't mean as much to you as it did to me. Even when you share a coincidence with someone, one of you is shocked into speechlessness while the other shrugs it off as just another occurrence. That aspect of coincidences is odd too.

Some people say coincidences do not really exist, that everything is intentional in life (I agree). But I have to admit that they are still a surprise, but usually in a good way.

Have you noticed or experienced any coincidences this week?

Head over to the other participants of this blog hop to see what they are celebrating this week.

    I don't believe in coincidences, everything happens the way it's supposed to.

    But that doesn't when 'the thing' happens we can't be surprised and enjoy it. Maybe that's the point of coincidences - an unexpected joy :)

    I think it's about time we rename these occurences. Many people believe that coincidences are viable signs that are showing us the path in life. We notice them on purpose, or they pursposely pop out right in front of our face at the precise moment. When my daughter does something on purpose, my son calls her the PURPOSER. And aren't these 'signs' placed strategically in places we would notice them? On purpose? Let's call them PURPOSERS, shall we? :)

      You are on point with your deep words today Aneta. I just came from your blog and loved it. Purposers- let's start the trend.

    I'm not a faith-ish person, but I totally believe that some things are "meant to be" and sometimes "fate" or whatever gives you a few reminders to pay attention :)
    Happy Friday!

      As if fate is telling us that we are on the right track. Thanks for stopping by and commenting Mei.

    I agree with both you and Mei - fate does tell us we're on the right track sometimes. Interesting post!

    Have a great weekend, Nana.

    I agree with Debbie, I don't believe in coincidences. And I also love them. I'm very faithful and I believe God has His fingers in these coincidences.

      Then you would be the first type of person that Aneta talks about on her blog. I think I agree with you you Cathy.

    It's funny how often that happens. Like you never hear a certain word, or about a certain thing, then it keeps coming up over and over....

      I know. It's been there the whole time and then you suddenly 'notice' it.

    I don't think I've experienced any this week but I definitely have in the past. When they happen they certainly make you think. Thanks for visiting my blog.

    Not this week that I've noticed. But when they do happen, you realize how small this great big world is. :) Writer’s Mark

    All I can say is that sometimes coincidences can be too good to be true
