A Change

There are compensations for everything in life.

When and if God allows me the time to cast another vote, my choice will remain hidden on an absentee ballot. I have no intention or desire to discuss my selection of a candidate or challenge and/or ridicule another’s.

Still apart from political affiliations, the past week of staccato news flashes, has been traumatic. I have returned to constantly waiting, watching and wondering about new updates. I admit I I have been literally glued to the direct TV above my round green table since Friday, July 12.

I have abandoned the various soothing, nightly streaming choices on Netflix, Amazon and a long time favorite PBS.

Obviously, I feel strongly about the responsibility of every citizen to be informed about candidates and issues before casting a vote. Yet there is also the danger of over saturation, and I may be close to that line of demarcation.

However, I believe I have done my civic duty this week. Now despite the ominous red flash that still constantly appears on the bottom of my TV, I plan to return to the somewhat antiquated mysteries available on Acorn and Britbox.

Once again I can silently cheer for the hero, weep for the victim, and wend my way to bed for a good night’s sleep.

Somehow after watching the commentaries, opinions, and alerts. that aura of relaxation evades my world.

Of course, if there are more updates, I may need to change my plans.
