Hindsight. Blog #427.

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.

I have watched the Olympics throughout my lifetime, but I have never seen one athlete change the perspective of so many people simply by authentically being themselves.  Alysa accomplished this, and the world saw her joy the moment she entered…
