Listening is what the Shema, one of Judaism’s central prayers, is all about.

My muscles tensed in my arm near the end of the blood donation. It was like a pressure. Apparently, my arm was telling me that I was done. Strange. :) Anyway, this is the second successful blood donation in a row. The donor center in Lansing is all brick on the outside, all hospital-newly-painted-and-drywalled feeling on the inside.

This is definitely something to keep up:

You are now scheduled to Donate Whole Blood.
