    Good thoughts Andy! Maybe a hero is someone who refuses to stay down and simply gets up when they fall?

      Jeez, yeah, Bob. Too bad we/they don’t get the fanfare when they aren’t an athlete show boating on the field. That stuff drives me nuts. If your definition is correct…which I think it is…there are heroes walking around all over the place. Thanks a bunch!

    I agree Andy. I know plenty of people that I would put in that category, including my children….all 4 of them, and Jon, my oldest foster son. I think I should say all 5 of them actually. They get back up and look for their next step, how to realize their dreams. They smile and lend a hand even when they are tired. They are honest with me. And we all know how honesty takes courage. Thanks again A…..

      Thanks, Meg! While not a lot of people commented publicly I got a fair share of emails and FB comments that lead me to believe we share the same thoughts on this. Why shouldn’t we think of ourselves and others like that? What a crazy world…

    So true Andy. I wrote a post two days before you published this one on the very same subject :-) I was inspired by reading a quote from Christopher Reeve who said “I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles”.
