Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Continuously running since 1934, the TToT is a grat blog without peer. Now, two editions, WP and Blogger. Hit us up on ‘the Facebook’. Hell, though we can’t imagine being that open-scheduled, why not join the ‘group’.
In any event, in no particular order or ranking (except, we guess the numbering thing), the people, places and things that have elicited a state of gratitude in us this past week are:
1) Phyllis
2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the works of Carlos Castaneda. (Castaneda’s don Juan maintains that Time (and it’s slutty step-sister, Reality) are a function of recollection. We know ‘now’ but for our remembering it. A carousel of vacation slides flashing on the walls around us at the speed Life.)
5) Outdoor Christmas lights. Phyllis being a ‘real’ person enjoys seasonal outdoor lighting decoration. Fine. She asked us to put them up.
…
lol With graceful resignation (the product of many years) she refers to our efforts as ‘Christmas Area 51’
daytime:
nightime:
yeah, and did we mention they, like, randomly flash and ever thang? yo. ho. yo.
6) the Six Sentence Story bloghop. from our contribution to an ongoing serial Six. ‘An Ian Devereaux Six‘
7) knots (large or small, loose or salt-encrusted) can be fun and relaxing to untie
8) knots untied (surely the most enjoyably direct philosophical insight into Life, Human Foibles and the #$(^*@& blinds))
9) the Unicorn Challenge. Pick of the week: ‘It is Enough‘ by jenne
10) Secret Rule 1.3

Love those naughty knots. I recently took to untangling a jewellery chain and thought I’d go insane … at least that’s the excuse that I offer when people look at me sideways.
weird, right?
Good work with the lights. And as for knots, you just have to have time, which is at a premium.
lol this is very true
I think knot untying is meditative, but not too many times.
well, there is that
lol
#4 and #5 take top slots. Who (pretend italicized as I don’t know how to html or do whatever it is to make it so) does not like Christmas lights!!!! Magical at Christmas.
in comment window: whatever whatever
damn it had the effect but not visible.
the html is always in a convention of < > and in pairs say < em > text < /em > but no spaces
damn! would not show the html
anyway the best way to find out is to in your wp do, say italics and then switch to text view there will be a pair of < > on either side of the target word
Nice, nice, nice!
