Super-Attitude

Got to admit to feeling a little saddened at hearing of the death of Superman (Christopher Reeve) - one of my childhood heroes.

It is so coldly ironic that the icon of a superhumanity lived much of his life dependent on others for day to day needs. Still, the real person is probably more inspirational than his onscreen persona when you are exposed to his post accident life-attidude:

CNN reports:

"In 2000, Reeve was able to move his index finger, and a specialized workout regimen made his legs and arms stronger. He also regained sensation in other parts of his body. He vowed to walk again.

"I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life. I don't mean to be reckless, but setting a goal that seems a bit daunting actually is very helpful toward recovery," Reeve said".
