Giving Blood

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I just thought I would share with others what a wonderful opportunity I

had. I gave blood to The American Red Cross, it was of course especially

important for the victims of the NY tragedy. I am truly blessed to have

given blood. Giving to others is a very important thing in my life as I

appreciate the gift of giving. Just because one has a physical challenge

does not limit them to voluntering their time to organizations of their

choosing. It makes me feel very good knowing that I could save a life.

Funny (better word maybe strange) on this particular day as I was giving

blood my brother who lives in NY fell 30 feet out of a building as he

is an iron worker. Luckily for him he survived with a broken neck and

broken heels. One never knows when they give something to others if it

will benefit their own family. Just a thought to think about.

I am doing pretty well, been a bit shaky last few days and required lots

of rest, but this is the day in the life of CMT and one must strive to

go on and not give up. As I know I am here for a reason and learn so

many things every day. One is who I am is not by the things I own but

how I give from my heart to others.

Thanks,

Heidi
