It is just wonderful that there is a word that means “a happy accident.” I also love the way it sounds.

On Inside the Actors Studio, Ricky Gervais said “serendipity” was voted Great Britain’s favorite word. R.G. said he hated that word because it sounded very Mary Poppins. But I like it too — it’s a cool word.
A happy accident, love that.
Love the way it rolls off your tongue in such a good way.
its also a really good movie with john cusack and kate beckinsale.
