On the Verge


I was speaking with my sister recently after she had a very exasperating experience. She stated she was on the verge….
Well she was so exasperated that fill in the blank was easy.

I realized we are all often on the verge of something good or bad.
Here is a list that may appear in your conversation:

On the verge of something big
On the verge of losing it
On the verge of a nervous breakdown
On the verge of falling asleep
On the verge of hitting it big
On the verge of discovering a breakthrough
On the verge of hysteria
On the verge of enlightenment
On the verge of a big break
On the verge of extinction
On the verge of exhaustion
On the verge of recovery
On the verge of making it
On the verge of acceptance
On the verge of going Postal


Being on the verge can be very dramatic. It can be a full of exasperation or full of hope. It might take someone a lifetime to be on the verge of some attribute or a split second. Some of us may never act on what we are on the verge of or be the recipient of what is just out of reach.

What are you on the verge?

Haralee, I believe I'm on the verge of the most creative and fulfilling part of my life! I think a lot of us older women are, whether because of being free of child-raising duties or because we've passed most of the milestones and uncertainties of youth and now are settled and confident enough to test and stretch or abilities, and I think it's wonderful!

Right now, I'm on the verge of going to bed (it's 10.47 pm in India!). I know your sister's not doing great, but your post made me smile, Haralee.

I too am on the verge, aren't we all, the verge of a huge life change and all I have to do is say yes..

Yet, I'm afraid. even though it is positive.
