Do you believe in fate?
Do you believe things happen for a reason? That there is no such thing as a coincidence?
I always thought I happen to live a rather serendipitous lifestyle…and after watching the movie “Serendipity,” I’m even more convinced. It’s a few years old and stars John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale… if you haven’t seen it, I’m sure you’ve heard of it.
Here’s a short synopsis courtesy movies.yahoo.com:
“It’s a bustling day in New York City, and amidst the usual mad rush, the paths of two strangers collide as they fall victim to a mutual, all-consuming attraction. Despite the fact that each is involved in another relationship, Jonathan and Sara bide their time, staying connected by wandering through Manhattan and talking until the wee hours, while never mentioning each other’s names. But, when the night reaches an inevitable end, the two are forced to determine the next step. When the smitten Jonathan suggests an exchange of phone numbers, Sara has a different idea in mind that will allow fate to take control of the future. If they are meant to be together, she convinces him, the universe will reveal its telltale signs. At least that’s the plan… ”
Sandy wants to hear from you! Look at that, not only is she writing in the third person, she wants to have a little experiment.
Taken people–do you believe you’re with your true soulmate? The one person in the universe that is your real complement? Have you met your match?
Single people–do you ever wonder if the person with whom you’re destined to be is someone you already know/pass by on a regular basis/is someone merely tolerating their current existence/path/lifestyle until fate takes control? Or maybe it has already………
Do you see fate working its way into your life?

I’m finding that as I get older I’m less inclined to believe that there’s only 1 other person for another. Perhaps because as I get older I’m finding that time is lacking. Back when I was younger, like real young, like 23 - ha - just kidding, I used to believe that there was only 1 for 1. I think this is pretty standard amongst those who are more of the passionate type mentality, regardless of gender. I don’t quite think that same way anymore. And as I look back, I remember that I turned away many potentially beautiful experiences because of looking and waiting for the 1. Now that this has happened, those early to mid-twenties feel far less robust. Now don’t get me wrong, like everyone else I’d like to find a great fit. I just don’t turn her away if I don’t see stars in her eyes, feeling weak in the knees and the Heavens open above as the Angels are singing. Having said that, I just hold it to the weak feeling in the knees and the Heavens to open above. Nothing more. Ok and maybe the singing. So I guess there’s a few for each of us. =)
