Red Blood Cells under an electron microscope
They look like little cinnamon candies here, but they're actually the most common type of blood cell in the human body - red blood cells (RBCs). These biconcave-shaped cells have the tall task of carrying oxygen to our entire body; in women there are about 4 to 5 million RBCs per micro liter (cubic millimeter) of blood and about 5 to 6 million in men. People who live at higher altitudes have even more RBCs because of the low oxygen levels in their environment.
todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
that I began my very own outline for a design for living when I first worked the steps with my sponsor; since that time, it has evolved and been modified as necessary
for productive meetings yesterday with sponsees - they keep me honest and growing
that I learn so much just by watching and listening
for some lovely and comfortable cooler weather that arrived overnight

I am so happy to see the weather change!!
I love those biconcave shapes.
Yea! for the weather changing.
I think RBCs are the cutest things the body has to offer!
I have been anemic for a while so I like to have lots of those RBC's.
Our weather is delightfully cool today.
Those cells look yummy!
CHEERIOS!
Those red blood cells look like you could put one in your mouth and it would make your teeth have that kinda stick together feel. Know what I mean? I love that.
The cells reminded me of red cherrios too. I need to practice more listening and watching...lessons by trial and error are so much more enhausting. Happy Friday Daave!
Sounds like you would be a great sponsor, dAAve.
I'll be listening and watching today!
