Welcome to a weeble's world
Why a weeble? I had these egg shaped characters as childhood toys, specially weighted they can not fall over - or at least they don't stay down. I remember the slogan 'Weebles wobble but they don't fall down'. I live with Bipolar Disorder, which ebbs and flows in it's own peculiar seasons, and have had other wobbles too including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. At school I was bullied (mostly verbally which made me feel guilty for feeling affected as 'not being beaten up') and it has taken decades to emerge from that impact on how I saw myself. The weeble is a positive image of survival, but an honest one too - we do wobble, and sometimes we will fall down, but that doesn't mean we always stay down.
Why 'wonderings'?I was a curious child, always looking for the why or what behind the surface view. Full of the awkward questions, I can recall shifting my language from 'why ?' to 'I wonder why?' becasue the latter didn't demand answers from those you share your wonderings with. I have always been a wonderer and this blog will be a home for some of my wonderings.
So who is this weeble? I am a 40 something female church minister working with British churches, I enjoy crafts and creative things, I dislike housework, lawn mowing and gardening in general. That will do for now - for the rest, well that will emerge in the blogs.
