Heroes

Over the last few weeks, my dangerous diet has been apallingly atrocious. Filthy fly-infested kebabs, ominously large pizzas and calorific Chinese dishes have been regular feeds. And it was when devouring a mildly meek Chicken Tikka Massala that I wondered how I could spice up my blogs. I came up with a solution, which may provide some minor interest. Rather than ramble on about nothing in particular as in prior writings, every month I will attempt to detail on a hero of mine. Good idea? Now I have got many people I admire in varying ways such as for their skill, courage or how they have changed the world for good. Certain musical artists, film stars, sporting legends, leaders and soldiers spring to mind. Yet, I want to talk of people who I not only admire but also have changed or impacted me in big ways. Definitions for this maybe over-used word are wide ranging, but one I particularly liked was someone who fights for a cause in a struggle. I also concur that one has to relate or be deeply touched by an individual to label he or she a hero. Bearing this in mind, I want to share with you my heroes and I ask you who are yours? And finally, while you have caught me in a sentimental and pensive mood, may I say you are all my heroes. People who work hard, who bring smiles to people, who help others, who aim for their goals, who defy the odds and so on are inspirational to me. Right, time to get my guard up again...
