"You 'BECOME' the horse said to the rabbit. 'It doesn't happen all at once. It takes a very long time. Generally by the time you are REAL most of your hair has been loved off and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But those things don't matter, because you are real, you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.' " >>> The Velvateen Rabbit

Synchronicity verses Serendipity?
I love the Grizzwells, they always get it right. I wrote a blog yesterday about Synchronicity and when I read the paper last evening this was the cartoon. Now I feel that is just a bit of synchronicity don't you? But my question now is whats the difference between Synchronicity and Serendipity? So I looked them up.
Wikipedia says:
Serendipity means a "happy accident" or "pleasant surprise"; specifically, the accident of finding something good or useful while not specifically searching for it.
And it also says:
Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance, yet are experienced as occurring together in a meaningful manner. The concept of synchronicity was first described in this terminology by Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychologist, in the 1920s.
So I see a similarity here but I think they are actually different. Would love to hear someone elses opinion on this. So keep looking for these in your life. They just may be a key to something important you are supposed to be paying attention to.
