Experiments with trains

[purpletigron]

Mater got herself to 'the other local station' by train, then home again! She only came because I vowed to meet her, and she was extremely anxious until she got home again. But she felt pleased to have achieved the trip, and has agreed it's an experiment worth repeating soon. Hoorah for her!

The experience has left me feeling wiped, though ... I couldn't quite stop myself from worrying, what if she's not on the train etc. ... I think I need to rehydrate some more ...

That is excellent. Congraulations to you both.

I've been working toward this milestone with her for the past year at least. The NHS and Social Services have not.

An important step! Yay:)

Today I've been reading "Who moved the cheese?" and feel that you have done a brilliant job in encouraging exploration.

Well done - now treat yourself!

Huh. Treat myself? Strange thought :-)

Tell me more about 'Who moved the cheese?' ... I've heard of it, but I can't remember much about it :-)

It's one of those little management books (see handy google link http://www.bizsum.com/2pagel/b_WhoMovedMyCheese.php?c1=ppc&source=google&kw=whomovedmycheese&gclid=COzujo710YsCFShHEAod_m2YCA)
that uses mice looking for cheese as a metaphor for how we handle change. It is not as cringe-making as some of those books (personally I'd like to throttle Tom Peters) and is very short!
