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. A bloghop without peer. An exercise in self-developing one’s sense of balance. Enhancing our capacity for interacting with the world around us (and the people who make it up) with grace and strength.
For the Doctrine, following is a list of the people, places and things that that have made us glad we bothered to go to the gym.
1) Phyllis
2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
5) the Unicorn Challenge bloghop
6) Snake on a Lawn:
7) yard project
8) got through the monthly creation of the linkz code for the TToT. The one daunting task incumbent on us as the current Host. God’s nose that with a key-mistroke, we could all end up being grateful as the Franco-Prussian War rages, the destruction ensuing from the Battle-of-GravyTrain reminding us ‘there’s no place like home’.
9) something, something
10) Secret Rule 1.3

About clarkscottroger
Click-click, off to watch the Rush video but was sidetracked by the VT about “super sharp knives at 70% off the list price because of some reason (I was concentrating on the knife cutting through a corncob as if were soft butter) … I want one of those knives. Oh yes — nice list, except for the snake. I stepped on a snake (I was young, as in a child), and it slipped under the arch of my foot as my mother screamed … and I’ve had a phobia about snakes ever since. Same goes for liver; I shriek at the sight of it, although I’ve never stepped on one.
I got that phobia thing with spiders (no memorable trauma) but the full-blown anxiety response*
*didn’cha used to hate the way people would insist that ‘it (snake/spider) was more afraid of you than you are of them’ or worse, the simpler, far less investment, ‘There’s nothing to be afraid of’
As long as they don’t want to share the bathtub with me, I’m okay with spiders (they eat flies, which I detest, and mosquitoes who eat me alive).
…or people who say, “Just hold still!” when a wasp lands on you (and you’re allergic to them).
