I yearned to be active again. But what could a middle-age cripple like me do? One day, glancing at some paintings I owned, I thought suddenly, “what about painting”? In fact, I had always wanted to paint, but had never had the time. Now, I had plenty of time. In the last 25 years, I have completed 300 paintings-one of them appeared on the cover of the Reader’s Digest. The stroke, I realize, has helped me develop a latent talent and enjoy life.
