I haven't blogged for some time, for a variety of reasons. I'm sure these will be explored at some length in the time to come. But I have started again for a couple of other good sound reasons. I think if I write down some of the manic goings on in my life I might be able to make better sense of them and to learn from them. My short term memory is getting worse and writing things down never seems to happen. One of my major aims of the last few years is to be more organised and this may help.
Also, I have decided to have a year of saying yes. So this is again almost like a document of who that goes. Should be interesting and challenging and hopefully at the other end I'll be a better person.
I want to be fitter and stronger and this is a public declaration of my efforts. Name and shame, I say.
And finally, yes gymnastics has taken over my life in many different ways - as a parent, participant, coach, judge and volunteer. All very interesting and frustrating experiences in their own way and again, maybe documenting a few can help me prioritise a little.
I finished my blog in March 2009 saying I had no ambition. 2 years later I have so many and so many reminders that life is short, so get on with it. I hhave grave difficulty in expressing any kind of emotion and therefore blogging often helps to get it all off my chest.
I really don't care if no-one ever reads this, as it is very personal and very much for me. But then that's me all over, selfish to the end.
