“LOOKING GOOD and DONATING BLOOD”

Have a picture of my Grand-daughter, Alyssa Aldrich –she is giving “blood “on her Lunch Hour  – and with that  big smile – you can see she is enjoying  – – the giving of  the  “best gift”  – one’s own blood…  to save another’s LIFE!

March is the Red Cross Month – and I am so proud of Alyssa for caring enough to give her own blood – and without having been, even asked to do so.

When Alyssa, e-mailed this photo over to me – it was the best picture to have received – I just had to make a couple of copies  – immediately!

I used to give blood years ago and  was a RED CROSS volunteer worker…  for the grade school that my sons were attending – so you know how long ago that was.  There came a time- – –  when  my blood decided to change. Each time that you go to one of their  “DONATION” set-ups…   they do a  test to be sure you have enough iron – my blood would not do the drop and spin test  – and then they just could not get my blood to fill up the require amount needed for a successful donation? Guess that is what happens – – when you gave too many times and did not restore the “IRON” into your  own system???

Looks like I needed to take “iron supplements”  – and still have to take my vitamins – -one of the signs that the foods  – – that I like best – – do not do for the body – – that which  – – I wish that they would do.
