TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Been thinking a lot recently about thinking itself, particularly how to develop intuitive thinking. Working my "focus muscle" hard to keep "in the moment".
TODAY'S THOUGHT
Advice is great but the decisions about you should be made by you.
TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are you doing what you want, what you should, or neither?

Never put two Goldfish in a tank. They will argue over who drives and who fires the gun : D

Mega-laundry day. Being between washing machines, this means a trip to the laundrette and the whole week's washing done at once. I actually don't mind so much, it's an opportunity for contemplation, reading and watching PACIFIC on DVD

TRIVIA
The saying "In the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is king" orginates from a historical incident when Byzantine emperor Basil II(976-1025CE) defeated a Bulgarian army at the Battle of Kleidion in 1014. Basil was said to have captured 15,000 prisoners and blinded 99 of every 100 men, leaving 150 one-eyed men to lead the rest back to the Bulgarian king.

My life is a joy filled with love, fun and friendship all I need do is stop all criticism, forgive, relax and be open.

Concentration is like exercise with all the benefits and difficulties. What keeps you going is the knowledge that it's doing exactly what I want - clearing my perception.
TODAY'S THOUGHT
The less wants you have, the stronger the power behind them.

You've been told the Earth is round. Why do you believe this when every sense tells you that it is flat? Remember at one time, to believe otherwise was a sin. What influences YOUR beliefs?

THIS DAY IN WW2 (5.11.40)
In the North Atlantic... The German pocket battleship Admiral Scheer finds the British convoy HX-84 of 37 ships while on a sortie into the Atlantic. As this point in its route the convoy is only escorted by a single armed merchant cruiser, the Jervis Bay, which, although totally outgunned, engages the Admiral Scheer to gain time for the convoy to scatter. Jervis Bay is, of course, sunk but only five ships of the convoy fail to get away. The British suspend convoy sailings until November 17th but their pursuit fails to find the German ship which has moved toward the south Atlantic.
In the United States... President Roosevelt is elected for an unprecedented third term. His majority in the popular vote is 10 percent -- 27,000,000 to Willkie's 22,000,000. In the Congressional elections the Democrats lose four Senate seats and gain eight seats in the House. They retain their majority in both chambers.
