Start a Serendipity Log

It’s a pity when someone is living a charmed life but doesn’t know it. Preventive medicine for charmed-life blackouts is to keep a serendipity log, an ongoing list of wonders, delights, and delicious coincidences. To get started, put a little notebook in your purse or pocket and make note of the serendipities showering you throughout the day. These are little joys such as, “A coworker gave me a copy of the novel that I can’t get from the library for another six weeks,” or “I just found out that I’m going to be in Cincinnati the same weekend as my friend from Seattle.” The key is to appreciate all serendipities and not judge them by their size.
