Have you ever looked up at the sun and notice that it was smiling upside down? There is a new saying today, that goes along with that.
You knew that, right?
It goes like this:

“When you see the sun,
smile upside down,
It is time to take,
a look-around”
~ ~ renagain original
Well, that happened to me, just the other day! I am forever looking up when I am outside. That is when I saw the sun, smile upside down.
So I stopped and took a look-around.
Not at the ground and nowhere ‘out-there’ was I looking.
I stopped and looked within me. I know that I hold all my answers. We all hold our own answers. Everything is within.
When I stopped and took time for me, I discovered my heart was out of balance. Those of you who have read my writings, you know that my heart is what guides me in my world. I listen to my heart, before my brain.
I was surprised to find that Drama and Stress were creeping back into my world.
My world had become a carousel.
Up and down;
Round and round
while I attempted to paint the pretty ponies.
I amble along the foggy mountainside, absorbing nature’s symphony … with delivery of a post in mind.
And when it comes down to it….
The sun is glaring and staring at me, with a certain form of shimmer, as if to say, “Get on with it ALL ready. You KNOW what you must do!”
I do know!
It is time to shift that energy right now and ‘re-balance’ my heart.
In doing so, I am discovering:
- I need to re-organize a few things in my world.
- I am taking a summer/fall break from blogging
- I must now go…
Go where?
Towards that which started out as a casual encounter and has manifested into…. how shall I say?…. a calling - “Toto? I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore . . .”
“I will be back in a jiffy,” yet, I am not sure that would be so.
For what drives me forward on my new adventure… is perhaps moxie. I hold in my heart, what I feel and know I must do.

this beautiful journey I hold inside”~ ~ renagain original
My ‘move away from posting’ will not leave me dormant.
- I will post and/or re-blog on occasion
- I now have more time to interact with your posts, which I miss doing.
I am semi-active right now August 2017
I will be around
Love life!

Interesting post. Believe it or not, similar thoughts have been running through my head. I love blogging but…..let’s face it, there are only so many hours in a day and when you are retired and getting on in years, you begin to wonder what else could I be doing with my time. I may be posting a similar message shortly. Who knows, I may even discover a new passion. Later!

Thanx for your comment and being honest with yourself. I am elated that I have inspired you.
I can believe that you have been having similar thoughts. Bet many of us are.
I love blogging, but I LOVE ME more and will do what makes me happy.
Why not????
Everything is changing. Especially us humans and our perception of ….. everything.
I know that when I do what I love…. when I follow my heart…. when I explore my passions…. I am in bliss – my heart is happy and balanced – and time stands still. I fully believe, we stop aging when we experience those moments of doing what we love. Literally!
I will keep posting, but only when I am nudged to do so.

“I need to re-organize a few things in my world.”
I really agree with you on that. I’m trying to organize my life to find time for all the things that matter. And I do hope that blogging will be a part of it. Because I have grown to love this community.
Thank you for sharing this post with me. I feel like I have a companion in this rocky road of life. You’re always a breath of fresh air, Ren. (virtual hug)
