Hello 2009

Hi All,
It's been a while since I last wrote on my blog.
My friend V told me this morning: "I went to read your blog but couldn't find anything new"...I am sorry, I got really busy living life and since I joined "Face book" it became almost a full time occupation with old friends and antics popping out from every corner...It's like moon walking!!!
Well so, what have I been up to since?
Let's make it concise (and then I will elaborate on it a bit more):
1) I went to see my family in Sardinia, Italy. This statement might sound plane to people with a "normal" family, but for me it was a real mission impossible needing tons of courage, chanting, wisdom and compassion...and more courage.
2) I went to see a dietitian twice and joined a monitoring group at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London;
3) I went to see a magic osteopath who solved my coccyx problem with a holistic "intrusive" technique- enough said;
4) I had many more blood tests and one glucose test for insulin and diabetes (currently awaiting results);
5) I managed to be referred to an Endocrinologist FINALLY Wow Big round of applause for the NHS and my GP Yooooo!!!!
6) I got really scared and depressed reading books on Thyroid problems and felt like taking the world to court...
7) I decided to get back to playing music and joined a piano course after 27 years of thinking about it without taking any action: Wow!!!! Big round of applause for me Yooooo!!!!
8) I decided to start up my own business and started training for it;
9) I am taking my driving exam after two failures 20 years ago;
10)I am writing songs and raps.
I hope due to all this I have been exused by now. And please friends and readers, write me some messages, if you want me to carry on writing otherwise is like having a conversation by myself...
I would like to clearly underline that all my achievements so far and fighting spirit comes solely from my Buddhist Practice of Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism through SGI-UK and I owe President Ikeda and the members around me a great deal for all this.
2009 has beennamed "The Year of Youth & Victory" and I promise you all one thing only: I will definately win over my illness this year.
Bye
