3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
After some soul-searching, missus and myself have agreed not to replace the stolen small garden gate. We don't have the £200 insurance excess, and we don't want to borrow the money in case a genuine emergency comes up. I will put it down to experience. When the gates were installed in 2011 I was warned by a neighbour that this could happen, but I didn't take the threat seriously. Such is hindsight! I must now adopt the Buddhist principle that if something is taken from you, you must let go of it with your mind.
Another area of acceptance being necessary is regarding my cough - I just need to keep up the aromatherapy and painkillers until it finally heals.
The benefits of the acceptance of adversity is that it frees up your mind to focus on moving forward. Setbacks that do not kill you make you wiser and stronger! I now intend to get on with developing my Practice.
4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Is there anything lost you need to let go of?
5. TODAY'S WEATHER IN BRADFORD
Fine and dry all day with sunny periods, but with a raw northerly wind.
Wind will veer north-westerly in the afternoon and ease off.
However, skies will be clear by sunset and consequently it will freeze overnight.

Swallows migrating across the Sahara Desert get all the water they need from the desert flies they eat on the way.

3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
A sleepless Sunday night took its toll yesterday as I spent a lot of Monday just zonked, although I did manage to have a good tidy round. Coughing was quite bad yesterday, and so for the next few days it's back to full-on painkillers and aromatherapy to feel more comfortable. An early night paid off sleep-debt, and I had a good 8 hours. A long meditation in the afternoon will also help restore full mental fitness.
It's been a few weeks of people and organizations not treating me right in various ways, although in counterbalance some were great. I've thus recently experienced the full spectrum of human nature from ruthless selfishness right through to overwhelming love. I'm pleased with my acceptance of it all and my response. I have ridden the rollercoaster with my mind in the right place.
My four current keywords for living are: accept, respond, gratitude, breathe.
accept - stop struggling and resenting how things are - everything is just Physics in action, and the Laws of Physics cannot be denied. Simply relax and see how it is as the inevitable outcome of those laws. It was always going to be this way. To accept will eliminate fear - you will feel fear but do things anyway.
respond - allow your intuition to do the work and make the choices - trust in it absolutely - reserve thinking for creative, technical and mathematical stuff. Instead, simply experience life as it happens, for you cannot both think and experience at the same time. Not being overworked, your thinking when you do need it becomes much more effective.
gratitude - absolutely essential to attract good things into your life, allow gratitude to be your default emotion. Focus upon the things in your life that make it worth experiencing. This has profound and fundamental effects on your life experience and wellbeing.
breathe - breathe slowly and deliberately - this grounds your awareness into the present in the present time and space, where you are most powerful. This consequently allows your response and intuition to be at their most effective.
4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
What is your default emotion? That emotion is determining the outcome of your life.
5. TODAY'S WEATHER IN BRADFORD
Snow showers in the morning.
Heavy snow after lunchtime will turn into heavy rain by mid-afternoon.
Rain will gradually ease into showers by evening and peter out entirely overnight.
Wind will be moderate to strong and veer gradually from westerly to north-westerly.

So much for a routine Sunday - it was dominated by the discovery of our smaller garden gates stolen - lifted clear off the hinges and removed! I took all the appropriate action - contacted the Police for a crime number (because that's all you get) and the insurer, and invested in a security chain for the "surviving" big gate.
Some subsequent Google research has revealed this to be a surprisingly common crime. With the benefit of hindsight I will take steps to ensure it won't happen again - assunimg the the insurer covers the gate - I'm waiting to hear later on today.
I thought I dealt with the whole thing really well, generally keeping focus, this incident has probably led to my insomnia - I've not slept at all overnight. Hopefully, body and mind will rebalance tonight.

More than any other day of the week, it's about simply being, as projects and events are not thought about. One consolation of my business venture failing is that I'm no longer sacrificing one routine Sunday a month.
Though Sunday is not my favourite day (which is Monday - unusual I know!), it is the day which brings the most refreshment and restoration, a unique comfortable padded buffer zone between one week and the next.

1. THIS DAY IN WORLD WAR 2 (2nd February 1943)
On the Russian Front...
In Stalingrad, XI Korps of German 6th Army finally capitulates, ending the Battle of Stalingrad. Stalingrad was the key battle of the war - it demonstrated that the German army was not invincible. It also showed Hitler to be a very poor military commander. His decisions were the cause of the defeat and the catastrophic loss of one of his best armies. Unlike Stalin, who listened to his generals, Hitler, convinced of his own greatness, would continue to override his generals with bad decisions. This, coupled with the fact that that he had made war on the two most powerful industrial countries in the world who were now fully mobilised, made the final outcome inevitable.

The source of my cough has moved from the bronchi to the trachea, right behind my tonsils. This shows the lungs themselves are significantly healed but the coughing is just as bad, and is playing havoc with my voice. Painkillers will suppress it enough to allow me to work with clients.

1. THIS DAY IN WORLD WAR 2 (2nd February 1943)
On the Russian Front...
In Stalingrad, XI Korps of German 6th Army finally capitulates, ending the Battle of Stalingrad. Stalingrad was the key battle of the war - it demonstrated that the German army was not invincible. It also showed Hitler to be a very poor military commander. His decisions were the cause of the defeat and the catastrophic loss of one of his best armies. Unlike Stalin, who listened to his generals, Hitler, convinced of his own greatness, would continue to override his generals with bad decisions. This, coupled with the fact that that he had made war on the two most powerful industrial countries in the world who were now fully mobilised, made the final outcome inevitable.

3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
With some creative accounting, family finances made a manageable loss after an expensive January, but some moderate austerity measures will be required for this month, particularly as there will be January's monster gas/electric bill to pay for. Of course our finances are in much better shape than many folk, and we are completely debt-free, something I'm grateful for every day.
January was not the go-ahead month I had intended, scuppered by weather, illness, big expenses and other people letting me down. On the other hand, it was magnificently enjoyable in the main, with abundant me time and good successes in my Practice.
I have learned to make uncertainty a way of life, where instead of ploughing down a mapped-out future, I respond to the circumstances in front of me, relying on intuition for my decision-making and living by gratitude. I am currently very much enjoying the bliss of home life, the absence of struggle and conflict, and making a difference.
4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are you so busy worrying about the future that you are not truly living?

8. TRIVIA
-40 degrees Farenheit = -40 degrees Celsius.
82 degrees Farenheit = 28 degrees Celsius.
These interesting comparisons come about because a degree of Farenheit is smaller than a degree of Celsius. 1.8 degrees of Farenheit is equivalent to 1 degree of Celsius.
However, because the zero point of each scale is in different places, (0 degC = 32 degF) you can't just multiply by 1.8 to get the Celsius equivalent. The actual conversion formula from degF to degC is to subtract 32 then multiply by 5/9.
To convert Celsius to Farenheit, add 32 then multiply by 9/5
The Celsius scale is based on the freezing point of water (0 degC) and the boiling point (100 degC)
The Farenheit scale is based on the freezing point of brine (0 degF) and the freezing point of water (32 degC) This was because it is then easier to calibrate a scale - simply bisect the gap between the two 5 times to get 1 degree. This ease of calibration makes analogue Farenheit scales more accurate than Celsius scales.
