Funnily enough, just having a peaceful day today and enjoying myself is a nice way to jump start the writing urge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I am glad you enjoy my writing.  It makes a difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liz: Thanks very much for your selfishness!  It is nice to know what you think because in my eyes things may seem tired so I presume others would think that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harriet: It is funny to think that so many English words can be unknown in another English speaking country.  I have had to look up some words from the US because they seem a bit strange to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wondered if I were shallow to love a kitchen. I mean, I walk in and smile when I see it.  I can be shallow can&amp;#39;t I?  Now and then?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The therapy makes me feel better but also different. I am not a better person but I am feeling better about myself.  Maybe I need to get therapy to get creative again.  Or take some time off work.  I hope your writing comes back to you.  It&amp;#39;s a nice thing to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice to know that the smelly teenager is a normal thing across the other side of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are right, I am living life - I can think of more boring things that could happen.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21796630/8702084816356701800/comments/default/7933405940534609664'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21796630/8702084816356701800/comments/default/7933405940534609664'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.lindastwaddle.com/2011/12/4th-december-2011.html?showComment=1323501876026#c7933405940534609664' title=''/><author><name>Linda and her Twaddle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05392205573326695683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hZYGzycq2Dc/SiegJDu4t6I/AAAAAAAAB2o/gpNV3CrqugU/S220/May+2009+025.JPG'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.lindastwaddle.com/2011/12/4th-december-2011.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21796630.post-8702084816356701800' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21796630/posts/default/8702084816356701800' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-332656567'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21796630.post-7307941352487329226</id><published>2011-12-06T12:41:06.418+11:00</published><updated>2011-12-06T12:41:06.418+11:00</updated><title type='text'>I think I need a glossary, or an Australia - US di...</title><content type='html'>I think I need a glossary, or an Australia - US dictionary.  I love those words that I don&amp;#39;t know and I always look forward to your posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Words I have not heard before (but mostly was able to figure out by the context):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tat&lt;br /&gt;doddle&lt;br /&gt;joinery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kitchen is looking beautiful, I&amp;#39;m so jealous!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that therapy has sucked the creativity out of me also.  Or maybe feeling better did it.  In any case I can&amp;#39;t write anymore.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My son and I seem to have that conversation frequently.  Not only does he stink, but his room does too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And BTW you are not boring.

You will love having an island. It is great for food prep.&lt;br /&gt;and of course, being a flat surface, well let&amp;#39;s say stuff shows up on it out of nowhere..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your writing is never boring. It is true you don&amp;#39;t write as much. But then again, you are much busier then you used to be. Oxfam, exercise, work is busier, you are doing more on the weekends it all adds up. And you continue to work on your personal health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But blogging should never be a chore. It is true that I have very much enjoyed your writings and a selfishness on my part would want you to continue. But I also want you to do what is best for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How ever you decide, I always wish you the best.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21796630/8702084816356701800/comments/default/4788765895096011035'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21796630/8702084816356701800/comments/default/4788765895096011035'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.lindastwaddle.com/2011/12/4th-december-2011.html?showComment=1323003054089#c4788765895096011035' title=''/><author><name>R.
