Today as my 17th act of kindness for Kind YYC, I donated blood through Canadian Blood Services. I haven't given in about 6 years, but in my mid-20's I was pretty regular and today marked my 11th blood donation.
I have a less common blood type with B+. It's not overly glamorous as I still can accept Type O, but it's always been this kind of neat thing about myself and 7.5% of Canadians.
It didn't dawn on me until this evening how amazing it is that this is my blood type. It wasn't until I said it out loud to my husband that I realized how much being positive is a part of me. My optimism, kindness and mindset were baked in from the beginning. Pumping through my head and heart is blood that fuels my positivity.
