good thing
Fortunate turn overall
A good thing is something beneficial, fortunate, or advantageous.
The phrase often appears with hedging: It's a good thing you called ahead, Too much of a good thing.
To have a good thing going is to enjoy a favorable situation.
Someone described as a good thing, usually a woman, is attractive or desirable—a usage now dated and objectifying.
