Back in school (and therapy) I learned that metaphors are much richer in information than just the word given. In a group, for instance, saying “I feel depressed” isn’t quite as vivid as saying “I feel like sand bags are tied to my feet.” But wait–using “like” makes it a similie, doesn’t it! Well, similies are okay too. Which is a back door way of telling you how I feel right now: “like” a honeycomb devoid of honey. I can see I’m going to have to go and make a collage to fill up my honeycomb.

Intriguing! Thanks for explaining the difference between metaphor and simile so lucidly. Look forward to the collage!

Fell out of bed again last night. No damage but I anticipate soreness the next day or two…You’re so sweet.

Waking up with a bump really isn’t fun! Try sleeping on the other side of the bed. Or with your head at where the feet normally go. You’d be too confused to know which side to fall off on! Please be well.

There’s no other side of the bed. Maybe that’s the problem: it’s a twin size.

Whatever you do, don’t sleep in a hammock! Be well.
