They say hindsight is 20/20. Seeing the future is harder, of course. But, each one of us is looking forward to something. Working toward a goal, a plan, a dream.  I spent decades working, saving and planning for that date.  As a single Mom, I wanted to be financially secure when I retired. And 2020 was the year I planned to cross that finish line.

Luckily for me, I shifted to music years ago and am doing what I love for life!  I have been working harder than ever and was planning on slowing down in 2020 though to spend more time with my family, travelling, playing music, seeing my friends, reading all those books that have piled up. But as we are so often reminded — especially this year — life seldom goes according to plan.

Sometimes all we can do is put our head down and take it one step at a time. Until one day, when we see the light at the end of the tunnel. We reach that milestone. We start a new chapter. And if we’re lucky, we can look back on our journey  with clarity, wisdom and then acceptance. And perhaps a bit of 20/20 hindsight.
