On the Passing of the Equinox and the End of Summer... Ten Things of Thankful

This is the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop.

This is the Wakefield Doctrine's contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. 

In response to all the emails, posts, letters (written and imagined) we are happy to announce^{"ok one hint, then you're on your own: "Grat#2" and don't be pasting it in comments and such, we got standards here, ya know?"} that we're extending the Open Auditions window for positions on the Board of Hostinae. The qualifications for a seat on the Board are to be found among the Grat List here (and possibly on other's TToTs).

So if you find youself all kinds of "Hey! This might be good for me, you know? Certainly the other members of the household won't resent the sudden abundance of quiet time." So overcome that self-consciousness/good sense and ask around the neighborhood*

Following is the list of the people, places and things that inspired us to try and feel, like, grateful. 

1) the Board of Hostinae:

• Mimi
• Dyanne
• Kristi
• Lisa
• Denise
• Misky

2) well, for one, to be possessed of a certain affinity for writing (non-fiction, fiction, speculative fiction, memoir and just be willing to tap the admittedly adulterated (in all senses of that word) spring call Stream of Consciousness ('aka 'Tell me you did not hit 'Publish' aiyeee!!")

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) [HypoGrat] Got a new phone. Dealing with Improvements (lol) Our Resident Expert on All Things HypGratuitous (motto: there-there-you-do-remember-that-it's-not-entirely-about-you,don't-you?) Mimi will be happy to esplain.

5) Watching an LPGA tournament last Sunday and hearing one of the announcers use a delightful idiom, "That just throws the cat among the pigeons".

6) the Six Sentence Story bloghop. Pick of the Week:  'Better Angels'  by Liz H-H

7) the Unicorn Challenge bloghop.  Ear of the Week:

8) Open Houses (as a physical/professional location that both allows reflection (Hypo-Grat) while inspiring the narrative of a WIP story)

9) something, something

10) Secret Rule 1.3
