About

I came up with the site description of this blog in a bit of a hurry. I wanted to post my first blog on January first and hadn’t set anything up, so it ended up as ‘midlife musings of a woman on the edge.’ Try as I might, I haven’t been able to change it. Perhaps I should watch some of those WordPress ‘How To’ guides after all…

Anyway, as the title of the blog suggests, I am Halfway to Ninety. I’m a forty-five year old woman who has realised that I am at the midway point of my life if I’m very lucky, and if I am to do all the things I want to, I need to seize the day now. So I am a woman on the edge, but of what? The edge of glory? Of reason? Of my seat? Maybe all of these things!

I’m a big fan of the saying ‘no guts, no glory‘ and in the spirit of seizing the day I have set up this blog to write. Something I have always wanted to do but never have. My inability to start writing can only be down to one thing: the fear of failure. So, no guts, no glory – because the only failure is the failure to try.
