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

This is our contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Established in 1990 by a once-removed, second niece of Jack Lewis (ambiguation here).

In any event, each and every week a group of talented writers, gifted bloggers and persistent word-hurlers, (such as ourselfs), write and link to the TToT posts on the topic of gratitude, i.e gratitude observed, experienced, remembered or anticipated, they’re all engaging insights to a most human of experiences. And it’s a fun and, with a certain perspective, beneficial exercise.

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) messed up weather (an immediate personal grat, a way-serious global hypograt)

5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop (like a ten cent box of Junior Mints at the movies that none of your friends saw you buy)

6) way multi-talented Friend of the Doctrine, Cynthia, has a post on the facebook this morning that demonstrates how some of what you see in these pages often serves as an illustration of the degree of un-earned good fortune in the people we get to know.

7) hey! wanna hear something strange? (…we’ll wait while our host Dyanne gets her breath, if not stop laughing entirely ).  ok

Look at that food material. For some reason, while in the early phase of recovering from my cold, I developed an appetite for paleo-personal-historic foodstuffs. The first (in photo) of our embracing, purely for recuperative purpose, a Breakfasts-that-Time-Forgot. Used to love them Big Breakfasts from McDonalds, back in the before-time. So imagine our surprise when the thought occurred to me, ‘You know what would be good this morning?’

There are a number of things we are proud of here at the Doctrine. Not the least of which, and arguably a essential quality for anyone hoping to get the most fun and benefit from our little personality theory, is the willingness to entertain silly ideas. That and the odd self-confidence to treat intuition as the Sixth Sense (or seven or whatever, depending on what you read). So we ate the breakfast of McMagog’s and the next thing you know, the thought of a frozen salisbury dinner is whispering like a slot machine on an old Twighlight Zone. Any way, feeling better. As certain friends might say, ‘If it works, don’t fix it.’

8) something. somethings

9) THIS SPACE AVAILABLE (We used to offer a starter Grat if there was a Reader wanting to joining but was not comfortable coming up with Ten (Things of Thankful). If that’s your situation, let us know and we’ll totally fix you up. That is will post your Grat here at #9. Will as much attribution as you would like.

10) Secret Rule 1.3 from the Book of Secret Rules, aka the Secret Book of Rules
