I work at a blood bank and try to donate on time every 56 days, which is when you are allowed to donate whole blood. Today was my day to give and I am always glad to do so. It’s important to help others this way. No matter what you can find your own ways to help others mine is to save 3 lives through blood donation.
Today is National French Fry Day. This is a basket of tasty fries paired with some equally tasty chicken tenders from a local place called Universal Joint.
So, I was in the old hood today for a funeral of a friend who had known me since when I was a baby. It always feels strange being up there because I don’t have immediate family there anymore. Also, the church I grew up in is under new management. It’s like when you leave a place often you don’t return there. I was formed as a human being there in public schools and through the faith community of my childhood. I still know people there but as in life, we all go our separate ways. As time marches on I don’t miss it although that place is forever a part of me. Thank you to the 886 for your part in making me who I am.
The special coffee today from Sunnyside Cup is Shamrock Latte in light of it being St. Patrick’s Day week. I paired my coffee with a coffee cake muffin. Not a bad way to start the day.
