Encouragement in the Hobby

[NorthBrit]

Words of encouragement go a long way.

Because I could not use my right hand properly I was told I was lazy for not using it. The more I tried it didn’t help, but still carried on.

I took up scenery modelling to use both hands. Gosh have I made so many mistakes. Family encouraged me (thankfully). Though I had a train set it was never in any scenery I built.

It was Dawn who encouraged me to have a layout in the scenery. Bless her. Off course the errors are still being made, but Dawn never says a bad word.

When the doctors at the hospital said “Years ago I had a stroke causing loss of use of part of my right side.” I hadn’t been lazy. The words made me ‘try harder’.

Dawn still gives me great encouragement. I still make mistakes when railway modelling (and there are many). The support from Dawn is priceless

Briliant! Thank you for sharing that, you will undoubtably inspire many.

There can be millions of excuses, all you need is one reason to try.

Those who love us best love us for what we are, not for what we could be.
