Zen moment: You are sitting in a chair and your beloved cat jumps up on your lap, settles in and begins to purr. That motor sets your motor, your heart, at ease. Take a deep breath - this is the gift only a cat can give.

Almost every day we hear the word "hero." But what is a hero? According to Webster's Dictionary, the definition of a hero is "a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability." My definition is a little different. Today, Mrs. Anderson, my math teacher, is my hero because of her helpfulness, caring spirit, and patience.
