THIS DAY IN WW2 (17.5.40)
On the Western Front... Troops of the German 6th Army (Reichenau) enter Brussels. Antwerp and the islands at the mouth of the Scheldt are abandoned by the allies, who fall back to the Dendre River. Guderian's forces, exploiting the loophole in their orders allowing reconnaissance in force, reach the Oise River south of Guise. On the German left flank, the French 4th Armored Division (Colonel de Gaulle) attacks northward from around Laon. The Luftwaffe attacks them fiercely and prevents any real gains.
In Belgium... The government relocates to Ostend.
In Norway... The British cruiser Effingham goes aground and is lost while carrying men and stores to join the forces south of Narvik.
TODAY IN MY LIFE
Started off somewhat shocked about the news of the death of Ronnie James Dio. Client prep and follow-up this morning, Tax Return (no I STILL haven't done it!) in the afternoon, Reiki class in the evening.
TODAY'S THOUGHT
A human being is happiest and most successful when dedicated to a cause outside his own individual, selfish satisfaction.
TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Enlightenment is watching the road of destiny in front of you through the windscreen of your life without being distracted by the windscreen wipers of sporadic thought.
TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Is your mind prepared for the distractions that will face it today?
TODAY'S ONELINER
I keep telling myself a million times a day not to exaggerate : D

TRIVIA
The current holder of the loudest band in the world is currently KISS, who in 2009 hit 136 dB at a gig in Ottawa, Canada.
TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
I will above all other voices trust my inner wisdom.
