Cycles, Sunflowers and the point of it all.

Pedalling along we passed a place called 'Le Point du Jour'. It means 'Daybreak' apparently. My first reading of it was simply 'the point of the day', (but then french was never my strong point), and wondered what an interesting name to give a place. In one sense we all need a point or reason for getting out of bed at the start of a day. Like many people I sometimes wonder what the point is to be honest - but even when it is hard something or more usually someone makes it worth the point. To live in love and relationship is basically the point of life I think. It takes a few days out of the routine to make me appreciate afresh someone else's love, the beauty around me, the call of serving others and that there is a point even when sometimes it feels that there isn't. Those who live in 'Daybreak' in this part of France wake up at this time of year surrounded by fields of sunflowers - those beautiful plants who live to face the sun and soak up it's energy and warmth. I always remember an old nun telling me that for her prayer was sunbathing in the presence of divine love. Now that's a point....

Time for wine methinks.....

  5. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from
    PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.

    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress
    on several websites for about a year and am concerned
    about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things
    about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress
    content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

  8. Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than
    just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and
    all. However just imagine if you added some great photos
    or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is
    excellent but with images and videos, this site could certainly be one
    of the most beneficial in its niche. Great blog!
