Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here if you want to read other Thursday Thirteens and/or play along. I've been playing for a while and this is my 631st time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday. Or so sayth the Blogger counter, anyway.

ReplyDeleteI am Agog. 😮😁.

Wow, all from one book, huh. I wonder if there's any correlation to choosing no stress and being a good member of a herd. I'm completely on board with sentiment #7, as long as it's sincere.
