How do you want your life to be? Round, smooth and predictable? Or dented, unique and moving in unexpected directions? This piece by Christopher Sherrod made think about how I see my life.

I embrace #individuality and #serendipity, and reject #groupthink and trends. By acknowledging myself, warts and all, I know that I can always find #meaning and #fullfilment in my life.

The Dented Ping Pong Ball and the Beauty of an Unplanned Life

What if the thing that disrupted your life is the very thing that can make it better? In this personal essay, I share how my cat’s dented ping pong ball became a lesson in embracing unexpected change. After a grand mal seizure forced me to give up driving and abandon old plans, I had to rebuild my life from the ground up. What felt like damage turned out to be direction. This is a reflection on resilience, identity, and how to build a fulfilling life when nothing goes according to plan.

I found #sheep in the #city, enjoying a quick #grass snack. An amazing #cloudysky as background, presented itself with #serendipity. Those woolly buggers warm my heart, and paint a big #smile on my face.

When something captures your eye, and you realise, it's the ultimate #answer to the #universe and everything. Plus, the #colours connect with you, your #past, and your #future (#yellow and #blue). Then a #door has been found that has to be entered. Some might call it #serendipity.

Today I learned that #Proxmox VE has predefined TAP interfaces for every #VM interface. #Serendipity

Often #hell and #paradise are right next to each other. This #door is connected with #childhoodmemories. Some #memories can haunt one for #life. Some even manifest as #trauma. While I go on my #hikes, I always have my eyes open, not to miss #serendipity looking out for me.

Here, I was reminded how #confidence can blind one from seeing one's #limitations. #Limits can be physical or #mental. In this case, I was reminded of how little I knew, and how this has only insignificantly changed.

Best start into the week: doing my daily morning tour and getting so very totally soaked within the first five minutes, that I jumped in every available puddle the remaining 15min of my usual route.
Now off to a proper shower... 😁

Wishing y'all a lovely start into this week! 💚
