Thicker Than Water

Seed of the Day: Register to donate blood in an upcoming blood drive

Good morning world, it's Thursday! We hope your week has been progressing well. It's almost the end of the traditional work week, so keep pushing forward! If you have a non-traditional schedule, we haven't forgot about you either. Take your days off from work to relax and recharge....we need everyone as close to 100% as possible!

If this is your first time to the site, welcome! You've picked the perfect time to come join in on the fun we are having participating in Operation Grow 365. We've received stories of how people have given our Seed of the Day ideas a try, and how they have not only impacted others but impacted their life at the same time. It's been a great experience all around! Feel free to drop us a line at oneseed365@gmail.com or tweet us at @OneSeed365.

The saying goes, "Blood is thicker than water." We would be inclined to agree. While water is a very essential part of our natural composition and necessary for life, blood is equally as important to our well being. If you think about how hard your heart works around the clock, it's one job I don't think anybody would sign up for!

Now think about how much harder it is for a person who needs additional blood to carry out the same daily functions we do without a second thought. For those with blood disorders or other illnesses that require transfusions, they depend on the generosity of those individuals willing to donate blood. We can admit, the whole process can be scary at first if you've never done it, but we are willing to trade you the nervousness of the experience for the confidence in knowing you have helped someone else's life improve that much more. For today's seed idea, we'd like you to register to donate blood in your local area. As the picture above implies, it's safe, it's simple, and it saves lives.

Spotlight: American Red Cross: Check out the Red Cross's website at www.redcross.org or find them on Twitter at @RedCross. We are incredibly thankful for all they do to help with disaster relief, blood donation, and training individuals to be first responders in emergency situations. You rock Red Cross!

We'd love to hear from you about how you decided to donate; feel free to send us stories, comments, and photos about your experience! Thank you for helping us change the world, one seed at a time.
