THIS DAY IN WW2 (19.5.40)
On the Western Front... Most of the German panzer forces halt in positions between Peronne and St. Quentin to regroup but some of Guderian's troops are still pushing forward. Rommel's 7th Panzer Division also makes a small advance in the direction of Arras. De Gaulle's 4th Armored Division again attacks north from around Laon. It makes very good progress against gradually stiffening resistance but is ordered to retire before any real gains can be achieved. The possibility that it will be necessary to evacuate the BEF is raised for the first time in telephone conversations between London and the commanders in the field. The government are still optimistic at this stage. The main British forces are now in positions along the Scheldt.

TODAY IN MY LIFE
Blogging and seminar prep before all domestic stuff. Glad to have got HMRC, the lawn and PRONET stuff done.

TODAY'S THOUGHT
The best reaction to any mistake or distraction is to simply notice it and move on. Compassion begins within yourself for yourself.

TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
It is necessary to listen to both mind and body as well as what intuition is telling me.

TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are you focused enough to move on?

TODAY'S ONELINER
Having sex is like playing bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand. : D

TRIVIA
All rain is caused by moist air rising. There are only three ways this can happen: it hits a mountain (relief rainfall), it hangs around a warm spot then is blown off it (convectional) or it hits colder air that forces it upwards (depressional)

TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
Whenever I am distracted, I will gently, compassionately and patiently return my awareness to the moment and the task in hand.
