\"Ainda Bem\"
Selected
Thank God
Uma sugestão. Com o contexto seria melhor. Thank God soa mais leve que o nosso "graças a Deus"; se a expressão "ainda bem" quer designar um ar de alívio creio que se aplica.

Comment: "Gostei desta resposta.
Encaixa muito bem no contexto:
"Ainda Bem (Marisa Monte)
Ainda bem
Que agora encontrei você
Eu realmente não sei
O que eu fiz pra merecer
Você
Porque ninguém
Dava nada por mim
Quem dava, eu não tava a fim
Até desacreditei
De mim
O meu coração
Já estava acostumado
Com a solidão"

(It's) just as well (that)
It depends on the context of course. But if it were something like this:
'Ainda bem que trouxemos algo para comer, nos iríamos ficar com fome'.
'It's just as well that we brought something to eat, we would have gone hungry!'
Or more informally: 'Just as well we brought something to eat..."
A: "I'm glad we brought something to eat"
B: "Yeah, just as well!"
Does this work with your phrase?
'Ainda bem que trouxemos algo para comer, nos iríamos ficar com fome'.
'It's just as well that we brought something to eat, we would have gone hungry!'
Or more informally: 'Just as well we brought something to eat..."
A: "I'm glad we brought something to eat"
B: "Yeah, just as well!"
Does this work with your phrase?

Discussion
About Lindsay suggestion, if I got it right then I could translate a playful saying I once heard as follow:
Ainda bem que meu pai não é mulher, caso contrário eu teria duas mães!
It's just as well my father is not a woman, otherwise I would have two mothers!
Is that correct?
