1. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY

3rd September 1651
THE BATTLE OF WROCESTER
The Parliamentary New Model Army under Oliver Cromwell defeated the Royalist army of Charles II. This decisive victory effectively made Cromwell undisputed master of Britain. The king, with a £1,000 price on his head, escaped to France, aided by royalist and Roman Catholic sympathisers. Many of his followers were not so fortunate - the Earl of Derby was executed and 8,000 captured Scottish soldiers were deported to the West Indies as slave labour.

3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
A very busy day and a tight schedule is the order of the day - this is no bad thing! The structure and deadlines will be a good distraction from my "time greed" - my capacity for using time for unproductive self-indulgence if I have no schedule to follow. 

As well as a wedding anniversary, we have a "going out anniversary" - the anniversary of us becoming an "item". 32 years later, through good but also extremely traumatic times, we are still together. The secret of success is very simple - she utterly adores me and I really like that! This simple formula has enabled us to survive many traumatic times I do not wish to spoil my day by bringing up.

Instead, I shall thoroughly enjoy being loved and being grateful for all the other privileges and pleasures I enjoy, and shall express this gratitude by making such difference as I can.

9. ZEN WISDOM
When we change, the world changes. The key to all change is in our inner transformation—a change of our hearts and minds. We all have the power to change. When we realize this truth, we can bring forth that power anywhere, anytime, and in any situation.
