Please enjoy these compilation of thoughts as we gear up for March throughout our properties and as we hope all enjoy live Feed of SkyNews & Al Jazeera along with our Daily Updates produced for us by Paper_li in our Twitter Channel:

We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself
the means of inspiration and survival.
- Winston Churchill

Being defeated is often a temporary condition.
Giving up is what makes it permanent.
- Marilyn vos Savant

Expect to have hope rekindled.
Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways.
The dry seasons in life do not last.
The spring rains will come again.
                                                                                     - Sarah Ban Breathnach

If I could tell the world just one thing

it would be we're all okay,

and not to worry cause worry is wasteful

and useless in times like these.

I won't be made useless.

I won't be idle with despair,

I will gather myself around my faith.

Light does the darkness most fear.

- Jewel

I slept and dreamt that life was joy.

I awoke and saw that life was service.

I acted and behold, service was joy.

- Rabindranath Tagore

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.

If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

- Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama

It is in giving that we receive.

- St. Francis of Assisi

Life is an exciting business,

and most exciting when it is lived for others.

- Helen Keller

Kindness is better than piety.

- Yiddish Proverb

Notations From the Grid (Special Friday Edition): On Our World.....

Today is a special day as we here in the United States celebrate 50 years of the First 9-1-1 Call.    The vision to create this continues to amaze us today as the system has evolved as it has: 

50th Anniversary of the First 9-1-1 Call Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of the first 9-1-1 call. On February 16, 1968, Alabama State Senator Rankin Fite completed the first 9-1-1 call in Haleyville, Alabama and it remains as important today as it was when first introduced decades ago. Calling for help remains the first step in assisting someone in any emergency. In fact, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) You Are the Help Until Help Arrives (Until Help Arrives) program identifies calling 9-1-1 as the first of five actions to help someone until professional help arrives. To honor the 50 year anniversary of this important national service, take time to learn the five steps below and take the Until Help Arrives training online: Call 9-1-1 and provide your specific location. Stay safe by protecting the injured from harm and moving them away from any ongoing danger. Stop the bleeding with firm, direct pressure, or a tourniquet. Position the injured: Let someone who is conscious position themselves; put an unconscious person into the recovery position. Provide comfort to the injured while keeping them warm and offering encouragement. For more information on the history of 9-1-1, visit the National Emergency Number Association.   back to top

What is also of note is how the World perceives The United States as it works to ensure that the Planet Survives:
