WE’LL SEE YOU AT SIX. THIS IS A WISN 12 EDITORIAL WITH PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER JAN WADE. WHILE WE ALL HOPE FOR A MORE PEACEFUL AND KINDER WORLD, WE OFTEN SEE JUST THE OPPOSITE. YET WE SEEK KINDNESS, ESPECIALLY DURING DARK TIMES. SO PERHAPS WITH A FEW SMALL GESTURES OF OUR OWN, WE CAN SPREAD SOME KINDNESS AND BRING MORE HAPPINESS INTO THE WORLD. THERE’S NOT A BETTER TIME THAN NOW AS WE MOVE INTO OUR TRADITIONAL TIME OF THANKS AND GIVING AFTER ALL, THE HOLIDAYS ARE THE PERFECT TIME TO REMEMBER THAT KINDNESS IS REALLY A SUPERPOWER AND THAT GIVING BACK IS NOT JUST HELPFUL TO OTHERS. IT’S GOOD FOR THE GIVERS, TOO. IT’S EXACTLY LIKE SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI SAID, FOR IT IS IN GIVING THAT WE RECEIVE FOR CENTURIES, THE GREATEST THINKERS HAVE SUGGESTED THE SAME THING. HAPPINESS IS FOUND IN HELPING OTHERS AND SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE HAS PROVEN THAT IT ACTUALLY GIVES YOU PLEASURE FOR HELPING OTHERS. MAY JUST BE THE SECRET TO LIVING A LIFE THAT IS NOT ONLY HAPPIER BUT ALSO HEALTHIER AND MORE MEANINGFUL. ALL. AND WHEN YOU GIVE BACK, IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE WITH MONEY. IT’S GREAT IF YOU HAVE IT, BUT IF NOT, GIVING YOUR TIME AND TALENT IS A POWERFUL GESTURE, TOO. OVER THE HOLIDAYS. HERE ARE A FEW SUGGESTIONS. VISIT SENIOR CITIZENS IN A NURSING HOME OR HELP AN ELDERLY NEIGHBOR PUT UP HOLIDAY LIGHTS OR SHOVEL THEIR DRIVEWAY. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS BY SENDING HOLIDAY CARDS OR A CARE PACKAGE. DONATE HEALTHY FOOD OR GENTLY USED CLOTHING TO A FOOD PANTRY OR SHELTER. GIVE BLOOD OR A TOY OR COAT FOR A CHILD IN NEED OR VOLUNTEER AT AN ANIMAL SHELTER. WE ALL NEED KINDNESS. YOU CAN ALSO GIVE MONEY. LOCAL NONPROFITS WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. GENEROSITY NEVER DISAPPOINTS SAINTS. AND IN THE WORDS OF WINSTON CHURCHILL, REMEMBER WE MAKE A LIVING BY WHAT WE GET, BUT WE MAKE A LIFE BY WHAT WE GIVE. PLEASE GIVE. I’M JA
