Just Being Me: I did it!

I did it!

I have not

been able to

give blood very

often the past

year or two.

My hemoglobin

just keeps being

a point or two to low. But today I had an appointment to try again at 12:45. I had almost decided I would like it if it was still to low this time because things just kept coming up that I wanted or needed to do TOdaY. But I wanted to give it my best shot. So, yesterday I worked hard at eating beef. This morning I had a Tablespoon full of blackstrap molasses and various other things that are supposed to help

build up iron.

It worked!

I was able

to Give

My blood

For some one.

That made

Me feel

Good!

Now I am off to bed so I can make more.

Anna said...: I don't know if it helps but I think it does. They say if you have problems giving to lay off coffee just for that day so if it affects you in a short time other things might to. I haven't given for quite awhile if I didn't do something similar. Other times I forget or think I feel healthly, I should be fine and it doesn't work out.; March 11, 2010 at 10:08 AM

Favorite Verses

for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. Philippians 4:11
Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. He brings princes to naught and reducers the rulers of this world to nothing. No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff. To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal? says the Holy One. Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one them is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob and complain, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God"? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired and weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary , and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:21-31
All Scripture is is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. IITimothy 3:16,17
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. II Timothy 2:15

What we want to be

So tonight at supper Deborah told us she wanted to be a witch when she grew up. She is pretty excited about the job prospects in that field. Broom riding being the best.

But that got everyone sharing their dreams. Here they are, as we sat at the table:

Beatrice,

Deborah said, "maybe she would be a teacher, too".

Nati thought that being an actress would be fine. I had thought he was aiming to be a comedian for some time now as he thinks he is quite funny! (also I am pretty sure he meant actor :)

Harrison, "a soldier."

Gregory, "A drummer, well a guy that plays lots of music but doesn't sing, like a trumpeter."

Margaret dreams of being a caregiver.
