Give Love! Give Blood!

Having missed the 5pm cut off point on sending flowers to ensure they arrived at a loved one’s on Valentines Day I took a moment to think.

Do I really care about this so called holiday>!?

Who is benefiting from all of this>!?

Surely I/We don’t need this ‘made up’ holiday to Let our loved ones know we love them>?!

And with this, I thought right. How can lil’ old me spread the right love>?!

Giving Blood!

Was always apprehensive about sticking a needle in my arm to freely give a pint of the good stuff away. When I only have eight to start with.

Silly and selfish!

A mobile unit occupied the space outside my local shopping center, so off I went.

It was my first time and of course that feeling of anxity you get for your first anything came over me.

The process was nice and smooth plus the nurses were extremely kind.

I know there’s people out there who have given for years and to them this may not be a big deal.

However to those who haven’t I urge you to get along and get involved.

When the nurse told me only 5% of countries population give blood I was shocked!

And only 1% of that being of ethnic origin.

I’m not saying I’m a saint, nor am I saying I alone can heal the world, but I can centertainley help.

Together we are one.

PeaceLoveUnity
