We know the effect of little kindnesses when they come back and say, 'I learned this from you.' or 'you helped me see this'. That makes it worthwhile.<br /><br />Heroism when true is done without thought for the self, but only with intent to help another.(kind of like Superman. . .)<br /><br />Good luck JL with the blogfest!D.G.

You've taken a different and interesting approach. <br /><br />We don't think of ourselves as heroes, but it's so true that many of us appreciate the small things - a listening ear, a word of encouragement, a comforting touch when we're heart sore. <br /><br />Your post classifies among the things we come across in a day that makes us go hmmm...<br /><br />Lots of food for thought.
