Inside 90 days, September 10th

Dear friends,
These are the 11 on Saturday night. I am in the company of my lovely mutt, Asia and Rufo. The evening is calm, perhaps a little hot, but sweet. I love this hours of the night. Some days passed since I have given you my news. As I had announced I took 4-5 days of total rest. Along with my girl-friend, Francesca, I spent some delightful evenings in the garden chatting, carefully leaving out any hint of speeches to karate. I ate some ice cream, oh yes! Last Saturday we went to the party hosted by Lancia Caffè, at the International Exhibition of the Venice Film Festival, at the Hotel Exlesior in Venice, in front of the sea. Together with Francy I have faced and overcome in a small but annoying difficult moment. In few days of doubts and uncertainties (predicted and expected, but no less insidious) many of you were close to me with mail, phone calls and sms. It was beautiful and touching ,and tenderly and with gratitude I showed every message of encouragement I received to Francesca . Together, we smile and each has warmed the hearts of both. Thank you friends, it meant a lot in a very particular moment. The other day I started training with calm. I plan to bring the machine- body to the right temperature a little at a time, day by day. I have also granted a relaxing massage at the Deltafit wellness Center, whose staff always provide to be polite, friendly and professional. The will to train and compete is back. At each step of the kata, each dynamic phase of fighting I'm starting to feel the excitement and desire emerge again. I am starting to feel the way I like it.
This Thursday starts the whole.
I can not wait.
And this is good.
I must admit one thing: without the help of my sweet girlfriend, Francy, this tough moment would have been much, much harder. I'm not saying that I would have given up, ABSOLUTELY, but maybe I would not be able to return to the time in the right condition.
Thanks Francy, my love.

P.S. I enclose a photo of the "warrior" to rest.
