Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Just for the record: nothing. in our humble opinion, sayings ‘Happy Thanksgiving’ better than Alice and her T-virus.

Somehow we’re already at the Friday/Saturday phase of the week! Which, if you’re a regular reader of everyone’s favorite personality theory blog, you’ll know that that means it’s time for a Ten Things of Thankful post. A creation of our Miss Lewis (no relation to that other famous Lewis, CS, at least that’s the official position that Lizzi is maintaining. For the the moment. I’ve already said too much. Seriously, don’t give it another thought. Put it out of your mind. She is not related. End of story.)

Being T-Giving week, I thought I’d take it easy and try for a pictorial TToT. Actually the reason this is an option generates our first Grat Item. Ironically it’s a non-photo item:

1)  Thanks and shout out to Valerie and her ‘My World at the Moment‘ group on ‘the Facebook’ It’s a fun thing to send in pitchas of whatever happens to be in front of you at a given moment. (Sorry, I don’t have a photo of the group, which surely must create a paradox of the first order, or, at very least, a conundrum (of some sort).)

2) Phyllis and Una (first of the photos…. this was Thursday (yeah, I know! you’d have never guessed))

3) Work  (I suppose…. well, at least I have a recent photo)

4) Being way out of shape…. enough so that I totally felt it after my brief bridge repair project. I’m glad I was so sore afterwards, it’ll help me to remember to start to remind myself to try and exercise more.

5) ‘Almira‘  this is such an amazing facet of my world these days. It’s the story of Almira Gulch and, unavoidably, Dorothy Gale and some people we all grew up thinking we knew, (such as Auntie Em and Uncle Henry Gale and Hunk) and people we might have learned about in history class, (one, Annie LoPizzo) and several rather fun and interesting people such as Eliza Thornberg and Dr Thaddeus Morgan and, our darkly shining knight, Edward. Well, the story has been unfolding over the last… 33 weeks and its been quite the tale. Here’s a link to Chapter 4, which is one of my favorites.  But the thing that makes this a constant on my TToT lists is it’s also about the people who have come along and kept me company/grounded/on script each week: Kerry and Valerie, Denise and Phyllis. Thanks, guys!

6) the One, the Only, the Wakefield Doctrine! surely the most useful and fun of all personality theories!

7) zoe and her Six Sentence Story every Thursday very fun and satisfying and entertaining …. you really need to stop in next week and try your hand at a Six

8) the Graviteers  Valerie and Joy, Lisa and Sarah, Kristi and our prodigal daughter,  Christine… now you want an example of the positive and productive and useful application of this internet thing in the service of self-improving oneself? look no further!

9) the Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules)

10) SR 1.3
