Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Ten Things of Thankful bloghop. It is hosted by Kristi. It was created by Lizzi.
The theme is gratitude, the rules are virtually (ha ha) non-existent and participation has been shown to be beneficial both to the writer as well as Reader.
The thing of it is, taking the time (and really, when you think about, you’re not taking time, rather you are investing time), the TToT is a good thing. (After all, the ‘time’ we’re talking about is investing isn’t so much ours, as it’s a resource all of us have access to, in a set amount each day.) Of course, investments are not always successful. They are not always wise, or in our best interest. Once made, in our little metaphor here, they are irrevocable. You spent yesterday doing what you did, feeling as you did, learning what you did. Ain’t no going back, ain’t no refunds.
As a wise investment, sharing those people, places and things that elicited a feeling of gratitude will always produce a healthy return on your investment.
1) Una She understands the world on the most fundamental level, that of the physical senses.
2) Phyllis She has the competence to navigate a world at once full of goodness yet rife with hazards created by the fear and insecurity of others.
3) the Wakefield Doctrine it offers an additional perspective on reality and the people who make up our worlds.
4) Chapter 26 of ‘the Case of the Missing Starr‘ Hey! sign up (wherever the heck it lets you, over at the blog where I have the serial story) the story is almost over. At least this chapter.
5) Pat Brockett co-hostinae ‘A season and a time‘ Pat’s blog is possessed of a quiet wisdom, her words are gentle which only accentuates the strength of conviction that lies beneath, like the boulders that determine the path of a river.
6) Lisa co-hostinae ‘The Prolific Pulse’ A relative newcomer to the ranks of hosts, Lisa’s blog is a testimony to how creative drive can, with discipline and practice, produce a variety of work that makes one sit back and think, “Yow, how does one do that.”
7) Dyanne co-hostinae ‘I Want Backsies‘ known among the traveled and not-so-travelled highways and byways of the virtual world as ‘Dyanne?-an-adventure-would-be-good-right-about-now,-watcha-got-cookin’
8) Mimi co-hostinae ‘messymimi’s meanderings’ Mimi and her blog provides a proof that innate kindness is not weakness and charity of the heart is, with some, limitless.
9) THIS SPACE AVAILBLE. (You know you want to)
10) Secret Rule 1.3. (Secret Rule 48.2 chap 4: if it’s a Sunday and the 8th of the month, ya gots to go look it up.)

Wonderful TToT today. Thank you for voicing 5, 6, 7 and 8. Eloquently and accurately stated.
The Beethoven? Jury’s out…. :)
Jacques is most pleasing, but try some of his other stuff, Mozart for example
very nice exercise in perspectives – thank you.
ur welcome
Putting a big red bow on the woodpile presents a very artistic scene.
Great intro paragraph about the investment of time.
After reading Chapter 26, I thought perhaps that was the final chapter, but it sounds like you are going to give us a little more. Will this lead into another possibly another book?
Aw…thanks for the shout out.
That, the ribbon, was Phyllis (I know! What a surprise!)
A few more chapters to wrap up this story. I like that characters from another work (‘Blog Dominion’) were able to join in (Sister(s) Bernadine and Margaret Ryan and Anya Claireaux fun, expect to see more them in the near future.
you are totally welcome
I agree with Denise on #5-8, and with my mom on the musings on time and investments.
Hey, related to #1 (in that it is about a dog), have you seen this blog: https://www.hungerforwords.com
I’m tempted to get some recordable buttons and see if Drexel would use them.
lol I will follow the link… though, like Una, Drexel being ‘an only dog’ does she not already have a vocabulary more than sufficient to the task of being a family member? looks interesting, though.
Wow! If I’d of known of the lovely mention I’d of worn my fancy slippers! Thank you for your kind words. Always enjoy your attitude of gratitude!
lol
No, it was fun.
Lisa’s blog is fun to read. I love her creativity with colors.’My dogs remind me to be thankful for the simple yet important things around us: shelter, the great outdoors, food, love.
I agree, Lisa has such an eye (and a talent) for colors and art and such.
Have a good week.
Getting to enjoy your writing is one of my thankfuls, even if i don’t list it every week.
thanks M
