I will be 71 soon yet I look like I’m 50 years old. I’m in a wheelchair from a stroke I had 7 years ago. But, I’ve learned so much that I wouldn’t have if I didn’t have the stroke.
I’ve learned to be more humble because I’m dependent on others for so many things. People tell me I’m more sociable and friendly than I was before. I’ve learned to be more loving, tolerant, and forgiving.
When I look back on my life, it’s like a Jekyll and Hide story. There was a part of me that was standoffish and arrogant. I can’t believe I was that way therefore I’m glad I had the stroke for all I’ve learned since.
