A great story about the importance of blood donation and especially the blood bank I work for. Without our donors many patients lives would be in the balance.
Turkey and dressing, corn and sweet potatoes. Ham and cornbread. Pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce. Anticipation of the tastes of the season await. Thanksgiving in America is tomorrow and we are all waiting to fill our plate and to fill our bellies. Most importantly is the anticipation of reunion with family and to fill our hearts with love and thanks. There is also the anticipation of shopping on Black Friday too.
Good morning fellow bloggers. I hope your Wednesday is going well. Today I will be working a 12 hour shift which is something I have done before but I don’t do it very often. Let’s see how the day goes. Have a great day everyone!
Thinking about the children who died, the children who survived, their families, the faculty and staff of Woodmore Elementary School in Chattanooga, Tennessee after Monday’s horrible bus crash. Grace and peace to them all. May they find comfort today and in the coming days.
It’s been a very challenging couple of days for me professionally and a little personally. The work of me and my team at Blood Assurance our regional blood bank is vitally important to saving lives. Without our organization many peoples lives over the years would be in jeopardy. Yesterday and Today people of all races, creeds, nationalities and genders came to our doors to donate a huge part of themselves, their blood. Today I helped over 100 people set aside their time to come donate. Those folks are important in that they will have an opportunity to save 300 lives. That is something to be thankful for.
