Christopher Reeve - Still Me “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain.*” The poet must have been thinking about me when she wrote these words. Some things in my life I am trying to change and other things I am trying to handle. On Memorial Day, 1995, my world changed forever. I fell from my horse during a cross-country event in Culpepper Virginia. …

…I give speeches to raise money for the American Paralysis Association. I have given testimony to Congress to support health measures and funding. I have directed and acted in TV movies since the accident. I established a foundation. I need to give as well as take. I need to change what I can change and to accept what I can’t without complaining. That’s a lesson we all could learn. * quote from Maya Angelou
