A couple years ago my mom and I were having a mother-daughter weekend in San Francisco and we decided to go vintage shopping on Haight Street. After sifting through lots and lots of gems (and finding a gorgeous Marc Jacobs coat), we decided to take a little break, rest our feet, and get some coffee. We meandered into a quaint little shop conjoined with a hotel, which also sold these awesome post cards with inspirational quotes.
I found one that I couldn’t pass up; something about it really resonated with me: “Isn’t it a co-incidence that you and I are both alive at the same time!” This particular post card was apart of a huge series of “pot-shots” by Ashleigh Brilliant.
I’ve had it displayed on my momento bulletin board where I have little keepsakes from fun and meaningful events in my life and noticed it again the other day. I love that the message is both sweet and thought-provoking…
…because isn’t it? Isn’t it a lovely coincidence that you and I are alive at the same time? 
Have to admit…never thought of that, very good point! Something we all have in common…
Right? Makes you think about the larger picture, that’s for sure.
