Did you ever have someone or something significant show up in your life when you least expected it?
I'm not talking about miracles, because I don't believe in that. But I feel sometimes things show up when we're ready to see them, whether or not they were something we were looking for.

Only once....when I ran into my youngest brother at a dance hall party for Latinos. A few years before we had "row"(as the Brits would say..)...a "row". Fast forward to the dance hall, I turn, there he is, and all is forgotten. "Brothers for Life"..

It is called serendipity or chance happenings, usually applied when something good happens unexpectedly. Sometimes it is just being in the right place at the right time.

I met my wife when I was 37. I expected to stay single. Good to be wrong, yeah! I had to add to this comment to say that she left me when I was sure we would stick it out with the marriage. Bad to be wrong, bummer!

A farmers horse runs away. Neighbor says “oh what terrible luck.” Farmer says “we’ll see.”
Horse returns with a whole herd of new wild stallion friends. Neighbor says “what good fortune!” Farmer says “we’ll see.”
Farmers son breaks his leg trying to tame the horses. Neighbor says “what terrible luck!” Farmer says “we’ll see.”
The draft brings every able bodied young man to war and the farmers son is safe. The neighbor says “what good fortune!” Farmer says “we’ll see...”
Yeah. I was really broke near Xmas and found $60 (in two different stores) laying on the floor.

I wasn't just thinking relationships, more about people or opportunities in general. But I'm sorry that happened to you.
@bleurowz One of life's lessons.
Of course. Always. Everyone does, even if they have been brainwashed to be "rational."
We are co-creators of our own universe..making our own reality.
What you believe, or fear, comes to you, since your focus on it makes it manifest, for good or for bad.

Yes, that's sort of what I meant. Things show up when we're ready, whether we realize it or not.
Yes, and you can lose them in the same manner.

Not just talking about relationships, but yes that happens.
Yes. I met a man the month I filed for divorce. His name is in a tattoo on my hip. I stay in contact with him by email but I may never get to see him in person again. We discussed my tattoo for months before I got it. The tattoo is about my life change, not him.

I get it.
Just today, I figured out how to attach my greenhouse to my tiny house by using an alcove or mudroom. I've been trying to solve that issue for a full year.
