getting caught in the rain
courtney, my bf from high school, and her puppy ellie.
I’m really not all about the new year’s resolutions. Ha ha. Of course I am, I just don’t tell anyone. After this morning, though one of my resolutions is to drive even slower than my normal grandma slow.
I have been lurking on a random chick’s blog for a bit now. I’ve been reading ever since she was diagnosed with leukemia. She’s around my age. She is pretty amazing. Reading about her treatment and struggles reminds me that though I can be annoyed at stupid people running into the back of my car, I just need to let it go. She has written some amazing things about forgiveness and letting things go.
She has motivated me to start giving blood again. I’m always be a proponent, but since my fainting spell last Christmas eve, I haven’t given. After reading her entry today about how blood transfusions are keeping her alive, I called and made an appointment to give blood Monday after work. My new year’s resolution is to keep on giving, as often as I can after that.
I challenge you that can, do.
Oh! This chick lives in Houston, so all you Houstonites could actually give her blood! Or at least blood in her name at MD Anderson, where she is being treated.
But really, just give blood.
