CNN's HERO awards......

I’m bawling through the whole thing……..these people are GAWDS. I am so embarrassed by not doing anything to make my neighbors, my community, my life better for others.

I think the idea of heroes competing against other heroes is abysmal. Can we not celebrate all of their accomplishments and then give all of their organizations a giant chunk of money!

It reminds me of The Food Network. I used to watch religiously, as I wanted to know how to improve my cooking skills. But now that it's all cutthroat competition, I never watch anymore.
