Synchronicity

Synchronicity is a neat word. It's become one of my favorites lately. When you look it up, there are different kinds of meanings, but basically: a meaningful coincidence. Wiki takes it a step further citing that " Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events which occur in a meaningful manner, but which are causally un-related. In order to be synchronous, the events must be related to one another conceptually, and the chance that they would occur together by random chance must be very small." Well, given that mouthful, I'm not sure I could point to much that might qualify. So in my little world, its the little things that make me go "oooo" when synchronicity, a meaningful coincidence, happens.

This is a word my friend Prof introduced me to. And over the course of our conversations, there are a lot of synchronicities that we've pointed out to each other. The ones I like, of course, are the ones that happen between us. Maybe we're both cooking the same thing for dinner. Or when sharing our dreams, they had similar themes, or persons, in them. Or today: Prof rarely gets online over the weekend to chat. I had just logged on 15 minutes or so ago, checked my email and then started this blog when *bell rings* there he is! Logged on and ready to chat.
Now THAT was synchronicity. For me.
HUGS to everyone!!!
