1. Made it through a particularly hot humid summer! In my mind, fall begins on September 1st despite the thermometer or the calendar. 2. A quick Trader Joe's run, got some nice wine 3. A quiet airy evening 4. Lotion on my hands and feet

Serendipity — luck that takes the form of finding valuable or pleasant things that are not looked for; a fortunate happenstance.
