THIS DAY IN WW2 (13.3.40)
After receiving permission from the government in Helsinki, the Finnish delegation in Moscow signs a peace treaty with the Soviet Union, and the ceasefire begins at 1200 Moscow time. Finland loses the Karelian Isthmus (including the city of Viipuri and the Vuoksi industrial belt), the Hango naval base and border areas northwest of Lake Ladoga, in the "Waist" and on the Arctic coast. The Winter War is over.
In London, Sir Michael O'Dwyer, the former governor of the Punjab, is assassinated by an Indian nationalist.

TODAY IN MY LIFE
Blogging and contemplation. Enjoying the feel and response of a new mouse for my laptop!

TODAY'S THOUGHT
When humility dies, great leaders and empires fall.

TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I am not yet mindful all the time, but at least now I always return to mindfulness.

TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Does your hope rest on outside or inside events?

TODAY'S ONELINER
Bad Day + Three donuts = still pissed off and fatter as well : D

TRIVIA
The Bay of Fundy in Canada has the world's largest tide - the sea level rises fifty feet (15.25 metres) from low tide to high tide.

...If you stepped out of a spacecraft onto Venus you would be simultaneously:
SQUASHED (due to the high air pressure - 93 times greater than Earth)
POISONED (the air is mainly carbon dioxide with nitrogen and suplhur dioxide - no oxygen)
BOILED (Surface temperature is around 460degC)
and CORRODED (It rains suplhuric acid) ... hmm, Florida for us again this year I think.

TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
When I feel lost, the quiet inner voice within me will show me the way.
