Donate Blood Today for a T-shirt & Chance on a $500 Amazon Gift Card

Receive a T-shirt & Chance on a $500 Amazon Gift Card

TUPELO, MS — From Vitalant:

Vitalant’s mission to ensure blood is available to patients when it is needed doesn’t stop during the holiday season. Vitalant needs the help of volunteer blood donors to help bolster the blood supply Dec. 15 through Jan. 5. This time of year sees over a 20 percent decline in blood donations, despite blood being used every two seconds in the United States. Blood usage tends to increase over the holidays due to an increase in travel and surgeries. Give blood and be the reason a patient gets to go home to their family.

All blood types are needed, especially type O and platelet donations.

Vitalant is asking donors to donate now to ensure that blood is ready to serve patients when it is needed. Vitalant relies on donors to donate regularly, especially during the holiday season when your donation is vital. Blood is needed every 2 seconds in the United States and the need stays constant, regardless of any holiday.

To ensure an ample blood supply, Vitalant is encouraging donors to skip the shopping lines and save lives with us. It’s the blood already on the shelf that helps in an emergency. That’s why it’s crucial for Vitalant to maintain a safe and ready supply at all times. It takes up to 2.5 days to process, test and distribute each blood donation before it is delivered to hospitals. All blood types are needed especially type O, A-negative , B-negative and platelet donations.

When you donate with Vitalant at the donation center — located at 4326 South Eason Boulevard in Tupelo — any time from Dec. 16 through Jan. 5, you will receive a long-sleeve “Experience the Wonder” T-shirt while supplies last. 

Additionally, one $500 Amazon gift card winner will be drawn EACH DAY from Dec. 16 through Jan. 5!

Let the best gift you give this year be the gift of life through blood donations. To find a Vitalant donation center visit vitalant.org or call 877-25VITAL.

Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Fast Track Health History the day they donate. It’s at vitalant.org.

Volunteer blood donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. Additional height/weight requirements apply to donors 22 and younger, and donors who are 16 and 17 must have signed permission from a parent or guardian.

Vitalant inspires local communities to serve the needs of others and transform lives through the selfless act of donating blood. Every day, almost 5,000 blood donations are needed to meet the needs of people throughout the country, and Vitalant’s 780,000 donors supply 1.8 million donations a year.

Finding Hope

Finding Hope

The definition of hope is an optimistic state of mind based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one’s life or the world at large. As a verb, its definitions include: “expect with confidence” and “to cherish a desire with anticipation.” 

I like to think of hope as basically the anticipation of something positive happening. Sometimes hope can mean something simple, such as hoping that the train does not make us late for work in the morning. Other times, hope can carry a deeper meaning such as hoping for the bank to approve a loan for your first home. 

Either way, hope carries a positive connotation that signals a satisfaction or pleasure of some kind. So the question is, what are you hopeful for?

Some people may argue that it is more difficult to remain hopeful when negativity or harsh circumstances are at the forefront of one’s life. It is harder to see the light at the end of the tunnel when the tunnel is filled with despair. If this is the case, then how does one gain hope? 

According to Psychology Today, there are many ways to find out. Because people may find hope in different ways, there isn’t necessarily a specific formula to follow. But a few basic tips for facilitating hope are:

– Find a clear path or direction

– Look for role models who have found solutions

– Set and reach realistic goals (i.e. doing what you know you can do) 

Although there are no specific rules to finding hope, I do see a recurring theme within the suggestions. I see the importance of having a plan. I think it is also important to have a realistic expectation of the object of anticipation. Don’t get me wrong, the extraordinary (i.e. miracles) happen nearly everyday. But when it’s harder for people to identify or anticipate a miracle occuring in their lives, they may feel a sense of hopelessness or despair, and can become pessimistic.

When someone is experiencing these feelings, hope can be difficult to gain and may seem out of reach. This is the time when we can take more control of our thoughts and view hope from the perspective described above. Find direction, research solutions, and be responsible over the things you can control. 

With realistic anticipation, the chances of hope will likely increase. So, what are you hopeful for? Are you anticipating something positive happening? If the answer is no, analyze your reasoning and try to find that hope again. Optimistically speaking, you deserve it!

A Bird in the Hand…

A Bird in the Hand…

Friends, growing up we ate just about anything! We ate lots of rabbit and squirrels! Quail were plentiful on the farm and we loved them!

John Barry, our older brother, got to hunt more than we did, and one evening he came in from hunting and handed mom three birds that he had already dressed and cleaned and told mom they were quail.

As it was getting close to supper time, Mom said, “Boys, if y’all want me to, I’ll cook these quail for your supper?”

Of course me and my brother Emory weren’t about to turn down a good quail supper!

Mom cooked the birds and made good ole biscuits and gravy!

We sure enjoyed it and bragged to mom that these were some good quail and she sure cooked us a great supper!

Well, the next morning, Emory and I were out in the backyard playing and saw a big pile of feathers!

We could tell right off that it sure wasn’t quail feathers. On closer examination, we discovered they were from a couple of woodpeckers and a meadow lark.

Now Emory and I weren’t detectives, but we had pretty well discovered that we hadn’t eaten quail for supper last night.

From what we could tell we had eaten two woodpeckers and a side order of meadow lark!

Thanks to John Barry, now we could add that to the long list of critters we had eaten at least once!

And life goes on, on Thompson Hill.
