‘bad things do happen in the world,

like war, natural disasters, disease.

but out of those situations always arise

stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.’

for all who suffer as a result of the disasters

and

for all who arise to do extraordinary things to help.

what is the definition of a hero? ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Thanks Beth it truly is nice that out of all the bad a few can make the whole seem a lot better.

It’s these stories of “ordinary people” helping other “ordinary people” that are helping me deal with all these disasters, lately…otherwise, I find my heart totally overwhelmed by all the heartache…..
