Blood

I gave blood on Sunday. It was the second time.

The last time was 21 years ago.

I had my excuses all set: "I got caught up", "I became a vampire" "I was in a coma", but when I looked into the chubby nurse's twinkly eyes, all I could say was "Sorry."

She smiled and saved me."You are here now, and that's all that matters."

Hope that gets you through your moments today. Forget the crap in your head, the snares of the past and the pitfalls of the future. Take it from the twinkly one:

"You are here now, and that's all that matters."
