Grey's..... What is next???
I have watched Grey’s Anatomy since season one. The endings of the seasons are just the beginning if you ask me…. Questions about what is going to happen next season. Now the final did reveal the Lexie died & Owen fired Teddy. But what everyone is not talking about was what I noticed at the end… 1st of all the phone messages from Boise about the team not being...

LET LOVE IN
felldowntherabbithole:
Especially on a day like today, remember to be KIND. It’s the ultimate GIFT you can GIVE.
You wake up every morning from a DREAM, throughout they day this can be crushed by those unworthy of your LOVE. My WISH for today, is that there can be a conscious effort to be KIND, PRESENT, WHOLE & JUST.
You are WORTH it, and so are those around YOU. Bullying doesn’t have to...

Where does A Rose of thanks go from here?
A Rose of Thanks is growing and needs some involved board members. I love the people I have but I need some more hands on involvement. anyone know a sergeant major or field grade officer &/or a Blue or Gold Star family member who might want to ne involved in taking A Rose of Thanks higher.
Thank you,
Matt

The person at the other end of the phone was dead silent at the request. As I explained it was for the troops she said I should Set up a...

I saw a guy walking down the sidewalk, I said hi and he said hi back, I figured he was headed to his car no biggie so i went up to the 3d floor and made my delivery.
