Giving

Having spent a lot of time talking about myself and my woes... I am turning my attention to something else. I am giving blood again. It has been a while since I have given blood and I do feel guilty for not doing so more regularly.

There isn't much I can give to the world at this moment in time as I struggle to support myself, but what I can do, along with pretty much anyone else, is give blood. I know there are those who are scared of needles or afraid to see blood, but the fact is that blood saves lives. A small sacrifice that you and I can definitely afford.

And why stop there? I have registered myself as a bone marrow donor and also a tissue donor too. I am also looking to become a platelet donor. If the little I do can help save a life then I would at least feel as though my life has not been wasted. I know I can do a lot more, and I will in the future.

I don't expect everyone to suddenly become donors, but have a think and maybe you can see the benefits you offer to the people who needs your help. You will feel great even if you only ever give blood once in your life.
