Coincidence or Miracle

There was a women in Taiwan that find out that her temporary boss wound up being her missing father. Some would say this is a miracle, and others think it is a crazy coincidence, or that she planned it. Sometimes I want it to be that she planned it. Other times I see the beauty in these happy coincidences, and I notice the pessimism in stripping the name 'miracle' away. What's wrong with little miracles in the world? Sometimes they are all that people have for hope, to prove that a God exists. But if someone is happy and they don't need miracles, then I guess a happy coincidence is better. I guess this is more of a rant on the pessimistic viewpoint vs. the positive viewpoint. I know so many people that are pessimistic it's rather depressing to be around. But on the flip side there is a negativity to being too optimistic, it borders on irrationality. Of course the philosophical side of me wants to go into fate, but that is a totally different rant. Did i make a point?
