The Day I Gave of Myself

I have no issues with needles.

I get pricked aver month-and-a-half or so for TSH levels.  I use to give myself injections for infertility.  I've hosted several blood drives.

Earlier this week the Red Cross telephoned and I said yes.

So, today, I took No.2 and, through pouring rain, made my way to the citizen center to give away some of my red blood cells.

I am so grateful I am healthy and can donate.  I will always donate when I can.  You just never know when someone in your family might need blood.  We can't all be takers.

I am glad No.2 saw me do this.  He might not remember this particular blood drive, but there will be others.  I hope that he, and No.1, will be willing to serve their community in this way and others one day.

So, here's to service.

Here's to giving life.

And here's to a Better Mommy Me.
