THIS DAY IN WW2 (19.7.40)
In Berlin... In a speech to the Reichstag Hitler issues what he describes as "a final appeal to common sense," urging that Britain make peace.
From London... General Brooke is appointed to be Commander in Chief, (Army) Home Forces replacing General Ironside. Ironside is promoted to field marshal.
In Washington... President Roosevelt signs the "Two-Ocean Navy Expansion Act." This orders construction of 1,325,000 tons of warships and 15,000 naval planes. Including the existing ships, the fleet will comprise 35 battleships, 20 carriers and 88 cruisers.
In the Mediterranean... There is an action between two Italian cruisers and the Australian cruiser Sydney and five destroyers. The Italian Bartolomeo Colleoni is damaged by Syndney and then sunk by destroyer attack. Later Sydney is hit by Bande Nere before the Italians flee.

TODAY'S THOUGHT
Instead of analyzing why you are cranky, a quicker more effective solution is a thought that generates a more positive mood.

I have everything I need for right now!

TRIVIA
A tomb is not the same as a grave. A tomb is above ground with the body encased in stone. A grave is by strict definition a place where a body is buried below the ground. A crypt is a basement room containing tombs. Though the basement itself is underground, the bodies there are not buried under Earth.
TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
The peace that I seek is already within me awaiting access.
