Hindsight has been a valuable asset to me, and I have been very grateful for all that it has taught me.  Although I don’t dwell on the past, it is nice, from time to time, to see the path I’ve taken and understand how life has been preparing me for my future.

Sometimes it shows me that my decisions weren’t as difficult as I thought at the time.  In hindsight, I see the issue much more clearly and how it should have been handled, partly because I’ve learned more, and maybe because I am removed from the stress of the moment.  

Other times, hindsight shows me why I took the path that I did.  Although I may not have enjoyed or appreciated what I was doing at the time, I walked my intended path.  In hindsight, I often see why the path was placed there, what I needed to learn, and how it helped as a stepping stone to my life.

In my mind, I see a glimpse into where I might have handled things differently.  Providing me an opportunity to ask forgiveness and pray for the person or issue.  Things I would handle differently now, but at the time, the solution was not clear. 

I often think of my life as a puzzle.  All the different aspects of life or pieces of a puzzle are trying to fit together.  Sometimes the pieces fit perfectly, other times it is difficult to find the right position.  Hindsight has shown me that those difficult pieces have been important life lessons.  Challenging at the time, but a stepping stone to the next adventure.     

My unique life experiences, some wonderful, some difficult, have all been woven into a beautiful path, exposed to me through hindsight.
