I don't know about you, but reading the news during this recession period often seems to bring down my mood, so much of it is depressing! So when I saw an article on the 2009 Carnegie Hero Awards, I searched for the link to read about their stories. I think what I liked best was that these are everyday heroes who rose the aid of strangers; these were not athletes, big shooters in the business world or Hollywood-types that we're so quick to give praise to, but then gossip about and tear down when negative news comes out on these same "rising stars". Anyway, thought I'd share in case you needed a dose of optimism about your fellow man. http://www.carnegiehero.org/awardees_recent.php
P.S. To the man in the camouflage overalls who pulled over on I-96 in the winter of 1993 to help a teary-eyed young lady to manuever her car back onto the road in the dark and swirling snowy conditions - thank you so much!!! I'm pretty sure I was way too flustered to even ask your name to properly thank you (I believe you simply nodded and told me to get on safely and got back into your truck and back on your way), but I have often thought of your anonymous act of kindness!
