Dear Friends
While continuing to choose to stay in the
extra cautious lane for now, even after
receiving my two vaccinations, I did break out to donate blood the other day.
The need is great, as I’m sure you have heard. Great care was given to make it easy, safe and fast. The snacks were good. I also received a $10 certificate
for Fandango and a t-shirt. I gave the certificate to Emily---What is and what am
I supposed to do with a Fandango certificate? I kept the “I Blead to the Max”
t-shirt.
I went with mixed emotions
but O, I’m positive I did the right thing. B sides, there were no negatives. A
nother positive thing, I didn’t have to stick around too long. Although the
nurse was cute, she wasn’t really my type---“We just weren’t a match”, I told
Kathleen.
As I left, I left my business card
(“Retired Priest: Will Preach for Pasta”) to enter the drawing for a plasma TV!
But to tell the truth, there was no such contest and there is no such business
card.
Did I mention the sign above the door when I went in?---“No
blood, No service”.
Seriously, I like the LifeStream Slogan:
Give
Hope, Give Life, Give Blood.
I am thankful for my health and thankful that I was
able to do this little part during our world-wide, continuing
battle with Covid-19.
