Yesterday afternoon while in the kitchen, I happened to pick up and re-read the Christmas card that sits on top of the microwave. It was from my sister and sits where it does because I like the painting of snow covered horses on its front. Anyway, 10 minutes later my sister calls to tell me my Christmas parcel was finally in the mail. I told her I was just reading her card again and we both had a laugh. I was apparently reading the card just as she was in the post office. She called me as she was leaving the parking lot.

So, later that night I was online learning how to do what is sometimes called an Asian Squat. It's a resting yoga-like squat position and usually takes some technique and practice. After watching a handful of videos on the subject I noticed it was after midnight. Well the latest Wordle game comes online at 12AM so off I go to play it like I do most every night. I guessed the word and had another laugh. The word was SQUAT.

Gotta love dem cosmic coincidences! I don't get many so it was a qualified fun day. Anyone else here with maybe a favorite odd coincidence?

Oh that’s just amazing! I love your stories

Mine isn’t as profound as yours because it’s due to algorithms.

I bought a set of nails stickers on my work laptop using my work wifi.

4 hours later at home using my iPhone and home wifi I see an ad for the company on my Facebook. I’ve never even heard of that company before - a lady at my work told me about them.

Yep, they sure tweak advantage to the marketers. If you weren't aware of the algos aspect one would indeed think it an odd coincidence!

It was the acclaimed psychologist Carl Jung, I think, who coined the term 'synchronicity' to describe these meaningful more personal kinds of coincidences. He obviously felt they were significant in some way.

I don't associate any meaning to coincidences myself...I just love them for what they are. Rare little instances that hopefully have a little "Oho! Well wouldja imagine that!" mixed into 'em.
