BUCS Weekend

Wow what a weekend!! Let me start from Thursday.
It all started with my journey to Sheffield. The journey there was fine, that was until I got into Sheffield city centre. That was when my sat nav took me on the journey of hell, round & round in circles, trying to find my hotel. After driving round in circles for an hour I suddenly stumbled upon the hotel. I finally got to bed about midnight!!!

Friday now i set off giving myself 45 mins to get to the venue, which I'm surprised I reach in 10 mins, but wait the sat nav tells me I've arrived, but I'm sitting outside the bus centre!!! I ask for directions, which send me out of town!! I decide to phone the lead physio & tell him i might be late, as I can't find venue. At this point he tells me that sat navs don't work in the centre of town as the town centre has been redesigned and all sat navs haven't been updated!! Great, so I drive round, and round, and round for nearly an hour until I accidentally come across the turning.
Once I'm in though I have a great day. Can't elaborate more than that for confidentiality reasons.

Saturday. Early start. I put my faith in the sat nav again.......you guessed it. It takes me nowhere near where I'm supposed to go. I cuss and I swear. I meet a very nice lady who points in the right direction. Me & the sat nav are now having a full blown argument. I win as I lock it in the glove compartment!!!
Another good day. At the end we go to HQ. I get lost again & end up behind where i want to be at Rotherham FC's ground!!
Anyway meeting goes well. I find out what the criteria will be to be chosen to work at the Olympics. That is my big determination, to be part of the 2012 Olympics.

Sunday passes, it's actually a bit of an anti climax compared to the other 3 days. I head home 3hr drive!!

Last nights Chapter Study

Early start today. Took my son to the bus stop. Richard my mechanic has just turned up to service the car. I'm expecting it to be very expensive, then what do expect when i travel 80 miles to work and back everyday.

Anyway last night we had a fantastic chapter study lecture on The Gohonzon. I was truly inspired by the experience that was given by a YM. It made me realise that I can achieve anything. It's all about believing in myself. If we harbour doubts we will achieve nothing. It has inspired me to just go for whatever it is i want to achieve. This year is my 'Chance in a Million' and i will be victorious!!!

I'm off to chant now. If you want to know more about the Buddhism I practice go to this website http://www.sgi-uk.org/ http://www.sgi-usa.org/, or send me a message & I'll answer to the best of my capabilities.

First entry

Hi Folks.

Well I've finally succumbed to joining the very popular blogging. it's been a natural progression from Facebook to Twitter to this.

I'm not really sure what I'm doing on this, but I'm sure as time goes by and i start adding things on here it will build into something of interest, and it will be something I'll be able to look back on with pride.

i hope this will inspire others as i take my journey through life as Nichiren Buddhist, doing my Human Revolution.

That's all for now. I have to get ready to go round to chant with my best friend.
