On This Horrific Day in Paris: Thoughts....

Fridays typically is a day where our team looks forward to as it reflects upon the week, decides on the musical interlude and plans out the week-end notations, today was frankly horrific as reports started coming in around 1:00 PM of the heinous attacks in Paris.   It left me speechless.

It is also an exciting day as I saw this:

 

Exoplanet the 'most important' ever found

A small planet, just a bit bigger than Earth, has been spotted in our stellar neighbourhood, just 39 light-years away.

But, as always, I can't help but be thankful as the team approved for me to share this from the daily thoughts by +Jonathan Huie as I wish all a fab Thursday :-) 

Could Not Keep the Team Away....:-)

The team was on the "prowl" this morning as it released a few updates (including a special edition on Veterans Day which I found to be quite a nice touch by the folks at @GovLoop).   It was also quite a day on the political front as our team was assessing the aftermath of the latest GOP debate and prospects for the future.   The field continues to be as volatile as ever.

I could not help but again take comfort in what the fabulous Victor Frankl noted which +Jonathan Huie recently published and the team was gracious enough to allow me to share here in my "Corner":

A lesson to be remembered for us all...

Happy Veterans Day!!!
