A Matter of Definition

To give you a quick glimpse and brief idea about why I chose to name this blog Sense & Serendipity, I thought I would bring the specific words that make up the title in the spot-light. According to Mirriam-Webster's Dictionary:

sense (1)
Function: noun

1 : a meaning conveyed or intended
2 : conscious awareness or rationality -- usually used in plural
3 a : capacity for effective application of the powers of the mind as a basis for action or response : INTELLIGENCE b : sound mental capacity and understanding typically marked by shrewdness and practicality


sense (2)
Function: transitive verb

1 a : to perceive by the senses (hearing, sight, touch, taste, smell) b : to be or become conscious of
2 : to comprehend
3 : to detect automatically, especially in response to a physical stimulus such as light or movement


ser·en·dip·i·ty
Function: noun

: the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not originally sought for; also : an instance of this


The contents of this blog will hopefully reflect the attitude of these words.
