Lets go to work!

We live here in the UK in a benefits society, where so many people think it is smart and right not to work but if possible (and it seems to me it always is) claim benefits. Those who choose this path in life, in my opinion,  lack any desire or want to aid society or to pay their dues, excluding of course those genuine claimants. I voice this opinion because since last Friday Jan 14th I have been unable to work as I am afflicted..not with man flu..but something that started as a cold and then progressed to a lung infection and I, by my own admission, am now becoming somewhat difficult to live with! I have been removed from my weekly routine, I have been unable to  set schedules, tasks or organise a working day. I have not enjoyed the pleasure of cycling to and from work (and sometimes further) nor have I been able to prepare for my next upcoming half marathon taking place in the rolling hills of South Gloucestershire mid march......in effect I have become a "miserable bastard" :( but fear not fair reader of my blog I am fighting back! In preparation for my return to work on Friday, amidst all my coughing and lack of well-being, and as the weather today is what could only be described as a beautiful winters day, I have set myself the task of making both my cycles work ready!!...and boy do I feel much better. I have set myself a mission, I have a schedule and I have organised the start of my late working week even though I am consuming a daily dose of 1500 mg Amoxicillin. In short work and exercise makes us what we are and gives us a purpose, a need to belong and a desire to succeed and make sense of our lives in the world we live which is part of a greater good and a greater universe.....here ends today's lesson :))
