Terrific Website: Weebles Wooble

I always loved Weebles. Do you remember those cheerful toys that "wobble, but don't fall down"? It is a great image for how we all cope; we may wobble and stagger and lean and lose balance, but we don't fall down. There is a Chinese proverb of the same ilk: Fall down six times; stand up seven.

Yesterday I met with a wonderful woman whom I knew almost ten years ago when she went through breast cancer. She is one of the rare people who totally changed her life after that experience. She left a job at a high-powered Boston law firm to devote herself to personal, family, and professional activities of more meaning and value. Very unfortunately, she has just been diagnosed with DCIS in the other breast and is facing bilateral mastectomies and reconstruction. With her permission, I am sharing the link to her blog about all of this. I give you a quote to entice you and then the link:

I was out last night, and when I returned, there was a mysterious package on my doorstep . . . inside were . . . Weebles!? Yes, one of my nutty but very lovable friends actually hunted these down. Hysterical! These two "Wegetable Pals" now have a place of honor above my kitchen sink - and when I feel like falling down, I'll rock the Weeble and remember what an awesome group you all are, and how lucky I actually am.
