Perspective – Gobbledygook – Not!

On By TimelessladyIn Perspective

The word for today’s Ragtag challenge is Gobbledygook. I looked it up to ensure my take on the definition was correct; I was thinking foolishness, junk, etc. I was not far off. Some synonyms for Gobbledygook are bafflegab, double-talk, gibberish, rigamarole, song and dance. Most of these have to do with the spoken word.

I don’t know about your area, but I live near a major swing state and an important city for the upcoming election. I am across the river from Philadelphia, and our media stations are from the city. The commercials, at this point, are constant political GOBBLEDYGOOK. All of the candidates have gifts, talents, and flaws. Of course, I lean heavily toward one candidate, as most of us do now, but I am tired of ALL the negativity bombarding us.

Only a few more days until the election itself is behind us. To counteract, I hope, the possibility of the rampant fraud in the last election, I voted early this year. It was the first time I took advantage of this type of voting. I am in my 60s and have voted yearly for decades.

We thought we’d be one of a few voting early. Oh my! I knew that was a wrong assumption as soon as we pulled into the parking lot of the voting center. Inside, there were long lines, but the atmosphere was wonderful. Doesn’t that sound odd? Everyone seemed happy and lively, and no one complained, campaigned to, or criticized the person near them.

I felt happy to be utilizing my civic right and duty. I voted. I am glad to support the candidates I think are the best choice for the country, county, town, and school board. VOTE! Vote early or on election day. But for those in my country, please vote. Thanks!

    1. It is very divided here. That is why I was so happy to walk into a very congenial atmosphere yesterday when I voted. Democrats and Republicans alike are all people who want the best for the country, at least I hope they do.

    1. I’m not sure what your process is either. I vote in the USA to have a say in who runs the government, and to know if I don’t agree with who is elected, that at least I was one voice and vote either for or against.

    1. Thanks Sue, I’m sorry I’m so late answering your comment. The election went well, although of course, many people are disappointed. Happily, it was called within hours. It is always terrible when the process drags on for days, or weeks, and no one knows what the outcome will be.

      1. Yes, we’ve now accessed the higher timeline. The light has won, even though the dark will still try to cling to control. And it has some dirty tricks yet.

        I know the Divine plan is in place.

        And yes, each has to see, from their perspective. And the truth has to be spoon fed, or it would be too shocking for many to cope with. ❤️💖❤️🙏
