Christopher Reeve
There is no such thing as can't.
Christopher Reeve
Misfortune can force you into doing things you should be doing anyway. Lessons come from adversity. Anything can happen to anyone... You can find a new lease on life - more meaning than you thought possible in simple things... Let go. Live in the moment. Go forward.
Christopher Reeve
America is better when all of us take care of all of us.
Christopher Reeve
