Reason #1 that I am now glad that my original travel plans were cancelled (see Serendipity). I just scored tickets for KB, Poppy, and I to go and see The Nutcracker this Christmas season. As luck, fate, serendipity or whatever word you prefer would have it, I happened to turn on the noon news and saw a commercial for the ballet. All I heard were the words "tickets now on sale." So...I called and viola! Great seats to this year's holiday spectacular!
I don't know who is more excited, Poppy or I. This will be her first official trip to the ballet and I cannot wait to see her reaction to it. We almost went last year but by the time I called, there were no tickets left for the family performances. I guess things do happen for reasons and I'll continue to see what other fortunate events might come my way. After all, there are still 10 days left in my "cancelled trip countdown" - so you never know!
What have you found when you weren't looking for it?
I also write at Silicon Valley Moms Blog as JB.
