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

This is our (weekly) contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful bloghop.

Legendary among: grat blogs, scholars of the History of Web Logs, fans of SOC and those who are intellectually confident enough to suspend disbelief at the drop of a ‘Previously on…’ Founded in a box on the doorstep of the convent at St Dominique’s in Crissfield, Delaware, the TToT was raised with care by those who know that, for most of us, wisdom is a quality, not skill. Miz ‘L’ soon drew followers, fans and co-hosts to the shoreline sanctuary in mid-Oceania.

This is our list of those people, places, things, ideas and occurences in the previous week or so*.

1) Una

2) Phyllis

3) the Wakefield Doctrine (sine qua and all, ya know)

4) the work we have chosen** the real estate with it’s variety of stresses and consistency of satisfaction

5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop: a virtual place where imagination is a foundation and limits are few and far between.

6) serial stories and such… (actually a bit of a hypograt as WordPress is becoming less hospitable which provides incentive to improve the hosting environment of a growing library of WIPs and such)

7) interesting work-situation outcome this week. high stress, limited control, bullet-dodged. (It was our response to the outcome that was interesting Doctrine/metaphysically-speaking. While it’s common knowledge that we here work hard at the grat-thing, being a touch emotion tone-deaf, we perceived a distinction to the overwhelmingly more common (ioo) feeling of relief at the positive resolution. For most of us experiencing ‘bullet-dodging’, ‘relief’ seems the emotional default response. For reasons beyond the scope of this grat item, we saw things a little differently (we know, knock us over with a feather) and came to the somewhat unexpected conclusion that ‘celebration’ was way more positive and beneficial an emotional response than ‘relief’. Go figure.

8) Livestream this afternoon, 13 ‘clock sharp.***

9) something, somthing

10) Secret Rule 1.3  ’cause how good can a Rule be if everyone knows it?’
