Happy New Year!
Thanks for visting – I hope that you have a positive and prosperous New Year.
2014 has started and with the New Year I find myself contemplating what lies ahead. I’ll admit that I usually find this time of year a little depressing;
As much as I find January depressing and as much as I don’t like getting older, this year I am not going to feel sorry for myself. Hearing about Michael Schumacher’s plight has just made me worry about him and reflect upon how lucky I am.
Michael Schumacher is a living legend in my opinion and it would be awful to see him wiped out as a result of his skiing accident. His son who was there at the time must be suffering terribly and my heart goes out to him and the rest of the Schumacher family.
It’s tragic for Michael’s family that after an F1 racing career so full of risk was over (and that his wife and kids could finally stop worrying about him); he should end up so badly injured on a low speed skiing incident. Michael’s son isn’t much older than my own and it is heart-breaking to think of him, his sister and his mum spending their New Year worrying that Michael might die. Having a famous father/husband doesn’t make that kind of grief any easier to handle.
Hearing the news that Schumacher was critical was shocking; I remember feeling equally upset when Richard Hammond had his high speed crash. Hammond proved that recovery from a brain/head injury could be achieved and I hope that Schumacher, like Hammond, makes a full recovery.
The news so far has been relatively positive, Schumacher is at least stable. Fingers crossed that everything works out okay in the end.
Michael’s birthday is the 3rd January (just one day after mine) and all I want for my birthday, which is now just hours away, is for him to get to his 45th with the prospect of a full recovery.

2014 has started and with the New Year I find myself contemplating what lies ahead. I’ll admit that I usually find this time of year a little depressing;
- After all the build-up and excitement, Christmas is over and all the cheerful decorations need to be packed away
- The return to work is imminent (and payday is a long way off so January is always a tougher month than usual)
- Each year I am about to get another year older and on a day that inevitably coincides with my first day back in the office (tomorrow's my birthday and I’ll be 43, which is not a nice number. I do have the day off though).
- To be blunt, I am inevitably fatter than I am comfortable with so a diet is imminent (and this year is no exception)
- Finally the weather is usually horrible (which is definitely the case today)
