In all things bad, I always try to see the positive. I have learned over the years that no matter how bad things get it doesn't do anyone any good to be negative. What does negativity accomplish? Nothing, it just makes you feel worse!
I also agree with the previous comments on how things work out for a reason.
For example, I was looking for a house right after my childrens father and I decided it would be best for us not to be together any longer, and I had found one. It was just the right size and amount for my children and me. I call the people who own it and let him know that I am on my way and I will be there in about 30 mins...well when I get there..his wife had just rented it out. I couldn't believe the luck I was having. It had been a horrible day. Well, after that I couldn't find a place anywhere. It's like all the empty houses just disappeared. A month goes by and something horrible happens (by no means my fault) just a huge misunderstanding actually, but this misunderstanding costs me my job. So, you see it was a good thing I couldn't find a house because I wouldn't have been able to pay for it after the first month.
So I believe that is why I was not able to move into my own house at that time.
