I'm feeling grateful!
Grateful for the circumstances that my stroke has given to me. You may not understand why, but I am grateful.
The other day, when I realized that my friend wasn't listening to me, I said (in my head) "Wow, I used to do that too!" I had a Type A personality...busy being busy! When I was talking with friends, relatives and colleagues, sometimes I wasn't listened to them...sorry...it's true. I kinda was listening but not enough so that I was feeling and respecting your thoughts and ideas. I was deciding what I was going to say when I could break into YOUR monologue. My brain was firing all the time when you were talking, planning MY monologue! Multi-tasking all the time, thinking that we are being more productive...not so...research (Multi-tasking Madness).
My brain shouldn't have firing while you were talking...my brain should have been soaking with YOUR thought and ideas. I'm sorry that I didn't respect your thoughts, feeling and ideas. Forgive me.
NOW, I can't multi-tasked, because of the stroke of genius! When, I talking with you, I am listening. My brain auditory cortex is firing focusing on listening, so I am feeling your words, soaking up your feelings, thoughts and ideas. I respect YOU. Great eh?
I hope that the Universe doesn't slap you upside the head with a clot ...be smarter than I was! Learn to be respectful!
