New Year starts late in our house, usually after the Christmas decorations have come down, the champagne hangovers have subsided, the embarrassing bottle collection has been carted off to the bottle bank (everybody empties them, but guess who ends up disposing of them?) and we start getting back to a normal diet, routine and start thinking about the exciting and sometimes daunting prospects of the year ahead.
My promise to myself, amongst many others, is to write regularly in this blog, hoping to share my thoughts of this interesting time of life with like minded readers, who I imagine will also be women going through the throes of midlife. As my profile states, I'm in my early fifties (though I really don't feel it - how did that come about so quickly?) and am a happily married mother of two teenage daughters, living in Cape Town, which is a pure pleasure and a privilege in itself. For the sake of protecting the privacy of those nearest and dearest to me, I am choosing to write under a pseudonym, as thoughts on family life and the trials and tribulations of living with and raising teenagers, whilst coping with my own midlife fears and crises will no doubt feature in the blog. Hopefully these will be issues which other mothers out there in the great spooky world of cyberspace will also understand and identify with, so I'd be interested in any feedback.
It won't be all domestic drama and trivia though. Cape Town, with all it's spectacular beauty will feature too, so I hope to provide some wonderful ideas of things to do and places to go. Hope you'll join me and have some fun and human insight along the way...
