An interesting take on this phrase, and not the one I grew up with. I am used to 'the elephant in the room' being used in a more political context, or at least a context of confrontation, where both sides keep talking around and around and ignoring some huge issue that neither one wants to deal with.

I haven't so much heard it used for one's own thoughts. Interesting take.

Any idea of getting back to our marriage posts?

I'm getting into a groove at work now. I imagine it won't be much longer until I can devote more time to consistent new pieces.

And I'm running out of stuff I've written prior that's worth a dang. So prepared or not I'll have to make it happen anyway!

Sometimes it is I who is the elephant and they won't let me out the door.

Aren't we all, good sir.

I do hate being the elephant.

I’m the elephant in the room when I return home as well 😂. My family avoid it by not talking about certain subjects with me 😂😂.
