THIS DAY IN WW2 (23.5.40)
In Britain... The former leader of the British Union of Fascists, Sir Oswald Mosley, is arrested. Also detained is a Member of Parliament, Captain Ramsay because he has been connected with the Right Club.

On the Western Front... General Rundstedt, commanding Army Group A, orders his tank forces to halt their advance. Despite this order 2nd Panzer Division forces are attacking Boulogne and inland the British evacuate Arras. Owing to this retreat the planned Allied counteroffensive is postponed. It is becoming clear to the British generals in France that an evacuation by sea is probably going to be necessary.

In the United States... President Roosevelt wins the Democratic primary in Vermont and is now certain to receive his party's nomination for the November elections.

TODAY IN MY LIFE
Blogging and seminar prep interspersed with family time.

TODAY'S THOUGHT
Whatever you do with anyone else, you always think alone.

TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I cannot change my mood by the power of thought alone! Food water and environment play a significant role in what I'm thinking. I'm not yet at a point where I can override these factors simply by focusing awareness. But I'm working on it!

TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
At what point does a job and security become no longer worth it?

TODAY'S ONELINER
We live in a society where pizza gets to your house before the police. : D

TRIVIA
Tornadoes are not a solely North American phenomenon, though the biggest ones occur in the United States. Hundreds of tornadoes occur in Britain every year, but are rarely strong enough, last long enough or in the right place to attract attention.

TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
I will treat every awkward person and circumstance as my learning mentor.
