Don't know if it's a coincidence or not but something really weird happened to us last week-end. My son came to visit and we took the camper to Donegal. I had emptied the camper, cleaned it inside out, emptied every cupboard, you name it! Before the week-end. On Sunday night i felt a bit tearful because my baby (25 years of age) was heading back to Scotland in the morning. So we sat and talked, played cards, you know! Wanted to make the evening a happy one to cling onto until we're together again. So we played cards on the table, ate, had a few drinks and went to sleep. in the morning i spotted a little white thing on the table, like a hankie? Thought it was something belonged to my son and just ignored it really. Waved bye bye to my son at Dublin airport, was in tears then headed back to the camper. the white thing was still there yeah? On the table so i picked it up and looked at it. it's a little cushion holding a sachet of lavender, lace with a little sticker that reads "Saint Mere Eglise". Now! My mum (Died 6 years ago) used to have a few of these cushions and i gave them all away after she died because i couldn't bear them, too many raw memories you see! So i phoned my son, asked him if it was his, to be told "O i thought it was yours mum". Well it's not mine, it's not my son's, not my partner's who deson't like these things and certainly not my dogs either! No one has been in the camper part from us and none of us has ever set foot in Saint Mere Eglise either, nor do we know anyone who's ever been! But as i spoke to my son and we talked about his gran, how much we both miss her, i told him that i felt sure she was with us, watching over us and happy to see us enjoying the week-end together. And as i did say that she used to be really fond of these things ... I wonder if it could be a sign that she was there with us on that night? thing is that it's brand new, lavender smells really strong and wee golden label is new too. So if that's a coincidence then that's the weirdest one ever. We just can't explain it!!!

I was just going to ask this very same question... how's that for a strange coincidence!
On a serious note: About half the population believes that coincidences are just that, and the other half believes theres a "great cosmic or devine plan" and that there are no such thing as coincidences... I for one do believe in random coincidences, and think those that belive in the "universal plan" are a little insane.

I am an occupational therapist in the NHS....no no thats no the coincidence, be patient...
We were interviewing occupational therapists for a vacancy (you can tell this was some time ago - before all the posts were frozen). After the interviews I phoned up the applicants to tell them the good or bad news. I phoned one of them, started talking to them, and after about 30 seconds got the feeling our wires were crossed.
It turned out that I had dialled the wrong number, but that they were also an occupational therapist who had also just been for an interview. Weird or what?

I believe that everything has a purpose and nothing is coincidental. But then again at least you should believe that God reigns. You may then say what about the bad things that happen?
I then say again, what about us the human race we don't take our responsabilities as a species towards our duties towards our fellow human beings.
We destroy everything. We can't blame god for our collective rebellion. Even the innocent suffer not by the hands of God but by our nastiness.
Sorry I deviated on the subject.
All the best and perhaps it might be a coincidence that I found this message, but i don't think so.

it may look like a coincidence, but everything is syncronized just the way it is supposed to be, planned out specifically, in order to meet a specific purpose. after having so many "coincidences" you may want to ask yourself if you should not look deeper and try to find an answer to a question that has been on your mind for quite some time now.

Was going to view a house the next day that I thought was perfect for me & my family. Kept raving about the good school, literally next door to house, being perfect for my daughter. Dreamt that night that the house was haunted with many ghosts. Got up next day and googled local mysteries. The very first story was about street that house was on and how thousands of bodies were excavated a few years back when the school was built there, believed to be Irish people who were shot in the potatoe famin...Needless to say, I cancelled my viewing straight away.

I don't believe in coincidence. I think it's when things come together, when they coincide! There's a reason for everything and there's something to be learned when these moments occur. Pay attention and you'll learn a lot!

There are no coincidences. It's an answer without the question.
I have them daily. They are not coincidences but manifestation of my thoughts. If you notice a 'coincidence' in your life, ponder on what your subconscious is trying to get you to notice.

I dreamed of the number sequence to the lotto, I played and I won. Now, I'm a millionaire and I still feel bored and come here to answer questions, *sigh*!
