Lol, yes, low expectations are key. And yes, it is heroic simply to be satisfied at times, or pleased with what you have. Good point. :-)<br/><br/>Thanks, Robyn! And yes, you're exactly right, those are both great examples. Sometimes heroism can be small, but it has to be there.<br/><br/>*nods* Yep, Charles. It's not heroic to expect something for nothing.<br/><br/><br/>Thanks, Written. Here I thought everyone had just abandoned me and hated the series. :-) Hope you get the computer problem sorted, and kill the deadline, lol!<br/>Yes, I have been fairly busy. Had I been thinking I wouldn't have scheduled this all at the same time, lol. But I have some guests coming to blog here, so that will be nice. Thanks Bernard! Lol, yes, low expectations are key.

I haven't been able to read it yet because I've been having connection and computer problems at the same time, as well as now I am working on a deadline to get some writing done. Need to focus on that, so I've just skimmed these. <br/><br/>I like the insights and will have to bookmark these hero articles for further perusal. <br/><br/>You have been very busy with the interviews and guest blogs lately.

No risk, no heroics. Very good point about “risk.” No risk, no heroics.

I can think of two examples:<br/><br/>Richard Gere in <i>Pretty Woman</i>. He's scared of heights, and commitment, but climbs a fire escape to ask Julia Roberts to be with him. So, so touching.<br/><br/>Richard Gere again in <i>Shall We Dance</i>. All he does is go to where wife Susan Sarandon is working- but he goes in a tux, with a rose, to ask her to dance; to ask her to join him in a part of his life he didn't think he could, or should, share with her. To me, it was as big and romantic and heroic as any knight who ever knelt at his lady's feet. Thank you for this fun series, DQ! I can think of two examples:

Whoever said the key to happiness is low expectations, really had a grip on reality. Sometimes the picture in our heads of what should be impedes day to day survival. My heroes always have the heroic ability to take pleasure in the simple things of life. :) Solid post on heroic skills, and I’m happy you had a good Valentine’s Day.
