November 13--Love Sticks with Us

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments that stand out above everything else are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.  --Henry Drummond

    I have been a blood donor at the Red Cross my entire adult life. I am not very consistent, but I try to give several times a year. It has always been hit-or-miss with my hemoglobin (iron) levels. Given that one is giving up a pint, the Red Cross wants the iron number at 12.5 or above. Monday's attempt at donation failed with a 12.4 reading. The previous attempt also failed. I'm approaching the point of "three strikes and I'm out." My last actual donation put me officially at 13 gallons (104 pints) lifetime. That's a decent record. Maybe my body is just encouraging me to keep my blood. 

    I have completed another painting. Given the events of last week (Election Day), this one is titled "A Thin Thread of Hope Among the Chaos." No Green Frog Tape gave its life for this one, but I did use a piece of a guitar string, crochet cotton and copious amounts of glitter paint to adhere the string. The string is frayed on the ends (like me 😉😉).

    Fun with paints "in the spirit of love!"
