Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not. ~Dr. Seuss

I gave blood today.

I have only given blood once, in highschool. After that I came up with excuse after excuse when Canadian blood services called me (I just got a piercing, I just had a tattoo done, I just got another piercing, etc.). I'm not sure why I kept putting it off. Fear mostly, I suppose. I don't like needles (I don't think anyone does) and I'm not a huge fan of large quantities of blood.

By some twist of fate I was given the day off of work and as I was walking back to my car I noticed the 'blood van' and I thought 'why not return the favour to the universe?' I am not normally superstitious but I do believe that if the universe gives you something you should give something back.

So take some time today to give back to the universe.
