Bekindr

We went to a presentation in Manhattan today called "Kindness Unedited," presented by the people who take care of our retirement funds.  The explanation of the presentation said "In a world with so much uncertainty, can something as simple as kindness be the answer?  We are wired to be kind and can learn to use even more kindness to improve our health, happiness and well-being by helping those around us."  There were speakers who were involved in the movie "Wonder" and the Broadway musical "Come From Away" written about the aircraft on 9/11 who had to land in Gander, Nova Scotia, and the townspeople who only numbered 8,000 people, who took care of the 7,000 stranded passengers on 26 aircraft who had to land there, and who had to stay there for a week.  It was an amazing presentation and an amazing day.  Oh, "Bekindr" is the name of a book, whose author was one of the presenters.  The book is a collection of stories of people being kind, and the effect it had on the people who were helped.
