(pronounced sehr-ehn-DIH-peh-tee)

You know when you find something great when you’re not looking for it” Or when something wonderful happens when you’re not expecting it because you’re in the middle of a less than desirable situation” That’s serendipity. You can also use the word as an adjective: serendipitous.

Example: It turned out to be quite serendipitous when the marble that Jan specified was not available because she ended up stumbling upon a much better product that not only looked better, but required a lower installation cost and easier long-term maintenance for the client.
