This has been driving me batty...
I'm looking for a word that means something along the lines of 'justified' or perhaps 'vindicated'...
Say I'd been performing a task in a certain way, and everyone else thought I was wrong for doing it that way. Then, due to something unforseen, it transpires that my way of doing it was right all along...
I could say that I feel ___________????
Thank you! :)

I think your choice of 'vindicated' was great, but another word could be 'exonerated'.

Since I was very young I have had this problem - to the extent that there are always 3 ways of doing things.
1) The right way
2) The wrong way
3) My way
I think 'absolved' is the real word you seek - it's always how I feel when something I do works perfectly well , even if 'off the wall' on occasions.
PS Love Numbsain's tirade.

I think I would use the word vindicated in this example.

I like all the suggestions so far - here are some others, in the order of my personal preference:
warranted
absolved
corroborated
