Vote for something good

After my last two posts, which were about my displeasure with  a new show on E! in which brides compete for plastic surgery and KFC's advertising on young women's backsides, I thought I should post something positive.

So here's something good.

Now is the time to check CNN's Top Ten Heroes for 2010. These people will inspire you and might even renew your faith in human kindness.

And, you can vote for the Hero of the Year. For the last few years, CNN has broadcast the "CNN Heroes: An All Star Tribute" on Thanksgiving night.

In my opinion, this show is a great way to end the Holiday. If you haven't seen it, you should definitely check it out. It is inspiring and more. Yes, some of the Heroes you've heard of, but some are ordinary folks who've done extraordinary things.

A few years ago, one of the Heroes was a single dad who was at a New York train station with his young daughters. He saw a man fall on the train tracks and have a seizure. With a train approaching, the dad jumped onto the tracks and held the ill man down as the train ran right over them. The train stopped just above them. The dad yelled up to the platform for someone to watch his girls.

On the broadcast when he was given his award, a camera cut away to his two daughters in the audience. One was sleeping (it was late) and the other was beaming.

That's the kind of show this is. It makes you feel all kinds of emotions.

You are reminded that good work is being done, that people are helping people, and that there are positive things going on in the world.

So check out the Heroes, cast your vote, then watch the broadcast and be moved.
