The Wisdom of A Recovering Stroke Victim

Over the years, people have used my various products (books, card decks, software, tools) to stimulate their creativity and/or amuse themselves.

Yesterday I discovered the following video made by "Bill from Richmond" last April. Bill is a recovering stroke victim and the video is a "letter" of sorts to his grandchildren. The production value isn't high, but I think Bill's enthusiasm and openness to life come through clearly.

The four-minute video was made in Bill's home studio. It starts slowly, but "Bill" grows on you. He explains why "Grandpa isn't senile." About halfway through, Bill provides his grandchildren with a simple tip to a fuller life. You can tell he's having a great time. (Check out the cool stuff Bill has in his lab.)

Needless to say, this video made my day! As Bill says, "Play with it!"

Thank you for sharing this video. My mother in law suffered a serious stroke almost two years ago. My wife and I are now looking at ways to increase her kinesthetic activity.

Now that you've mentioned it, i remember my late grandmother being sharp, even at 65++ and better than us young ones. Her hands were never idle; knitting, cooking, reading, etc. The only time she'd sit down was to rest her legs. *i miss her*

Gula: Thanks for your example.
