serendipity
Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely
i have had my share of serendipitous occasions lately and it reinforces my belief in God and all those forces that have brought good things my way. i am genuinely happy.
For weeks now i've been searching for a place to live and after resorting to the classified section of the PDN, a quick glance-over had me calling just one number to give it a try. it couldn't have worked out better. she not only awarded the rental without documentation or initial payment...but provided me with an opportunity to do some architectural work for her. she asked if i had a husband and i explained that i was a single mom....she then offered her prayers and said she would pray for me to find a good man because i deserved it and i believe her....i became teary-eyed and was humbled by her sincere words. my new home is walking distance to my work....steps away from the beach....minutes away from kylan's school.....and just a stone's throw to happy hour. i am excited to make a home for me and kylan. this is our first time living alone...without parents, friends, or family. i can't wait to cook my lavish meals, entertain my friends, and decorate my space.

Things do happen for a reason. You deserve ONLY the best. :)

I'm so glad for you! Your circumstantial turn of events reminds me of the title of a Radiohead song, "Everything In Its Right Place." I think it might be in Kid A.
