With my blood donation today I have given 3 gallons in my lifetime. Pretty cool if you ask me.
A One Hour Tour

I gave a tour at work to a group of future health care professionals today. They enjoyed learning more about our regional blood bank, Blood Assurance.
It’s Red Nose Day in the USA and I’m donating red blood cells at @bloodassurance Doing my part for kids in need. #rednoseday2018 #rednoseusa🔴 #chattanooga

Thought Of The Day
I believe we are unique creations from a wonderful Creator. With that being said we have a responsibility to be ourselves and to make the world a better place. The sad bit is when you act on being yourself and you pay the price from people who don’t get it. It should I be that way if you are living your truth.
Man At Work, Hard Work At That
On the job I work very hard in the beginning of my day to reach at least 75% of my daily goals. Granted my personal expectation is higher than what my supervisor demands. I want to set a good example. However when my goal is reached I find myself dealing with a late-day burnout. Maybe this case of fatigue is brought on by my desire to be the best or something else.
I am trying to find a way to spread some of this out so that at the end of the shift I am not exhausted. The work I do on face value is not difficult but the execution of it over a period of 8 or so hours can be very challenging. My philosophy is to be hard wood that burns long and evenly over time, not kindling that burns up quickly. See where I am going here.

Inspiration can be a terrific sensation.
