I started this Diary to record the process of becoming who I want to be - a successful trainer, teacher and rider. There is a chance I will be lucky and everything that is planned will happen and allow me to jump from one level of knowledge and skills to another as effortlessly as a classy show jumper jumps its round. However, there is a much bigger chance of my plans stumbling and fighting for survival making the process of achieving the goals a lifetime adventure (or struggle?!).
If I was perfectly honest I don't mind either option. As long as there is a sense of a purposeful travel it should be an enjoyable experience.
The Diary is not here to just happily frame my glorious moments (if they ever happen that is!). It is here to trace my steps, good and bad, wise and stupid. It might laugh at me, burst with irony, might be proud or just self-indulgent. It is also here so that I make sure I don't make the same mistakes twice and that there is a witness to my defeats and successes. The witness role is important. When I write something it seems so much more real and I can see it clearer than if I just chew the thoughts in my head. When you write something you are almost responsible for it to happen, you see whether it looks good or plain rubbish or childish. That is the theory anyway!
If any of you ever read through the pages please feel free to post some constructive criticisms, (encouraging comments?!), advice or just say 'hello'.
