Serendipity and my baby: Day 2

Serendipity: the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate. I've always liked that word. Not only is it fun to say, it's meaning is interesting as well. A friend of mine was supposed to find out about getting a loan, only to find out that they had to go to the main office nearer to where they live. He was upset because he had been misinformed, had missed work and gone out of his way to get to the office, but figured since he was in the area, he'd stop by a shop he was told about to get a transmission he needs for his truck. When they pulled up, the guy was locking up the shop. He turned out to be the owner and had just finished building the exact transmission my buddy needed. Not only that he sold it to him for less than half what you would be a new one for. He was pretty happy. If he would've left that loan office 5 minutes later, they never see the owner and may not get what he needed. In a world where there seems to be so much commotion and white noise, it's good to see that things can happen just so perfectly that it puts smiles on everyone's faces.

My baby: My daughter. I call her Baby. I'm not sure why, but I do. She's always been a little shy, and she's occasionally needed a little push to try something new or keeping at it. She sobbed when she had to keep going to dance, but eventually she got into it and did very well at her recitals. It was a little tough getting her to go to SONshine Park at church and to Awana's. She's been going to both for a while now, and she says she likes them. She came home sick from school today, was better by the time Kim and I got home and really wanted to go to Girl Scouts. I'm glad she has found something she enjoys and I hope she continues to go and gain something really positive from it.
