Market Friday Pauses


IMG_5581.JPG


As anyone can see, I am still wandering the fields of sunflowers. Alas, they are almost finished, although technically they won't be truly over for a few more weeks. The farm will be closing down as the majority have peaked all of their prettiness. People will only pay for the very best, can you blame them?

It will be sad to see them go, but, the silver lining to all of this is that they will be back. So, it won't be tomorrow, but, it won't be forever either.

Starting immediately, #MarketFriday will be paused for a period of time. I want to thank you for your support along the way and I look forward to seeing you back when I resume the posting concept.

**

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

#MarketFriday loves you!

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Some days, it is not as easy to see, just how amazing it really is. Me, I try to do my part. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.


Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed, And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimmed: But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st, Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st, So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Shakespeare

    hehehe hey tootsie roll... your name came up today and i had to come just say hi :)

    i think i was gone around the same time as you... cuz its been a long while. every once in a while i come for something random and then peek in on people. and today was your turn. hehehe i dont expect you to see this for a long time! but when you do - i hope you smile. and i hope you're filling your bowl with tootsie rolls. (i sure did have one the other day and my husband said yuck!!! and i was like how can you not like tootsie rolls??? and immediately thought of you AGAIN) Two times in one week??? hehehe that demanded a comment. sending love to you - wherever you are!

  • @geneeverett(76)· 441d

    Just my every 6 months or so drop by saying we miss u!

    I think you’d enjoy my new style of posts. I stepped up my game. You are truly missed @dswigle 💗

    Sending u chill vibes!

  • @bluemoon(78)· 494d

    It was a sign, I received a sign that warmed my heart and awakened hope, dear Denise! Hope that it will be like before... or at least a few words. I'd love it if you found something to occupy your time, something so interesting that nothing else interests you. Thank you, @dswigle, for letting me get a sign. I re-read your last post and realized how much I miss your writing and how stupid I am for not going back in time with your blogs in "our youth" in this place. I'm waiting!

  • @kaminchan(76)· 545d

    Dear Dennis,

    Thanks so much for your kind support. I hope that you are very well and keeping fit. I have to do more exercises to lose at least 2 kilos.
    I just noticed that you haven't posted for two years! How time flies by so imperceptibly. This year is going to be a verytesting year. I am quite shaken by future prospect as I am not prepared for what's coming.

    All the best and lots of good luck!

  • @amitsharma(70)· 588d

    @dswigle Hey Sweets, how are you doing? hope all going well!

    Wishing you***Happy New Year***

    It's been a while that I have been thinking about you and felt that I should drop a message to say "Hello" to you. It's really been a long long time.

    There must be a valid reason for you to stop posting here, but I feel you should make a comeback! :)

    Hope you see my message and drop me a word or two.

    In anticipation.

    Much love to you sweets

    Thanks & best regards, Amit

  • @kaminchan(76)· 669d

    Hi! Be back soon!
    Hope you’re very well and healthy and prosperous too!

    Have a wonderful weekend.

  • @kaminchan(76)· 784d

    Hi!

    Thank you very much for your kind support.

    It’s already a year since you last posted a story! Oh! Mine! Time plays tricks on my perception. I thought it was just five months ago!

    Love to see photos of beautiful flowers in your posts again.

    I think you probably have moved on to bigger projects!

    Good luck.

  • @kaminchan(76)· 786d

    Hey! How are you doing?!

    I hope you’re doing very well. How’s your plan for moving to a new place?! This must keep you very busy.

    Any way, keep strong! All the best.

  • @matjulius(25)· 863d

  • @kaminchan(76)· 931d

    Hello!

    How are you doing?

    I do hope you’re very well with excellent health.
    Things are changing faster than I could imagine. And I am still lethargic in this phase. Psychological aspect is too baffling for me to find out what invisible energies are playing tricks on my mind.

    Knowing too much, yet too little about things caused me some confusion.

    Hope you’ll be able to move to a safe place where you would want to live peacefully in the near future.

    Would love to see your new posts and photos of beautiful flowers soon!

    Take care.

  • @landrover007(62)· 955d

    Markets will always be there, people wandering through enjoying being sociable toward each other. Thanks for enjoyment in sharing on Friday's.

    Life gives us choice, I hope you enjoy time whatever you wander, take time to always smell the flowers wherever you go.

    See you again soon, hasten back with new adventures Denise.

  • @jacoalberts(71)· 1106d

    Thank you for all you have done, @dswigle! Take as much time as you need! I am looking forward to the time when you are ready to resume again! Until then, take great care of yourself, I believe we all will be waiting right here!

  • @old-guy-photos(77)· 1107d

    Holy moly. Just my luck. I havent MFed for a while and decide I need to do one and poof... 🤣

    Well I posted it and am sad to see it being paused. Hopefully it is only until the sun and fun is waning and we are forced back indoors.

    Many of us will miss #MarketFriday, it is a very nice concept, but a pause sometimes is so needed. Hope to see you back, and the event, anytime soon 🤗

  • @prydefoltz(75)· 1108d

    That is sad. #marketfriday is a Hive institution. I hope all is well with you. All is well with you?

    Let me know if it is some help that you need to keep it going. I'd be happy to pinch hit until you are back; I am sure I am not the only one.

  • @coquicoin(74)· 1108d

    Hola Denise! I will miss #MarketFriday but I understand that a break is needed from time to time. I hope you are fine, see you around :)🌻

  • @akipponn(77)· 1108d

    Oh no @dswigle ... 😢 I was sad to read the news but I understand you might need rest too. One good thing is that I could get in to the final Market Friday (and the beautiful sunflowers in your post!)

    https://ecency.com/hive-196308/@akipponn/let-s-talk-to-producers

    Thank you for hosting this wonderful community for really long, @dswigle!

  • @itravelrox(73)· 1109d

    Enjoy your break, Denise. 😘

  • @buckaroobaby(70)· 1109d

    For whichever reason you need to take a break may it be a wonderful time away and filled with bouquets of flowers

  • @phortun(79)· 1109d

    Honestly, I could never even imagine how much time you dedicated to this whole Market Friday thing with so many entries in every round and so much engagement around it. I run some regular initiatives myself and even though they are incomparably less time consuming than Market Friday, I still struggle to keep them alive sometimes. And I´m not even speaking about your comments left under other people´s posts and replies to comments under your own posts... The amount of time and energy that you have spent on Hive is simply incredible. This will never be forgotten Denise. Take as much time for yourself as you need. We will be here :)

    You always say: "Market Friday loves you!" We now say to you: "Hive loves you!" :)

  • @jacey.boldart(73)· 1109d

    Your sunflower photos are always cheery, but photo 4.... just Wow ! Love how the sun is coming in behind the petals, lighting them up and throwing little shadows at the base of them.

    Everybody deserves a pause now and then. I hope it is just because you want too and/or your life will be full of fun cruises and the such.

    It's Friday morning, the best day of the workweek. I told Lexa to start the coffee and I hear the drip pot finishing in the kitchen. Yes, the day will be full of phone calls that are not my fav, but the promise of the weekend starting soon will pull me through.

    Take care !

  • @bluepark(68)· 1109d

    We'll be waiting... Enjoy your break.

    "Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy," or so says, Guillaume Apollinaire. I could never say it as well as he, however I hope you find some happiness in this pause, time for yourself which, after so much effort, is probably exactly what you need.

    I'll see you around still for sure, and look forward to it, but enjoy the little gap you've created and make the most of it Swigs.
