Point - Counterpoint

Point: Email about Buddhist meditation from Dharma Craft.
Counterpoint: Email about dance party (picnic with 100 people) after skating 10 miles.

Point: Spending from 11:30-12:15 with 1st and 3rd graders at a recorder concert (yes 85 3rd graders playing the recorder) and then at field day lunch.
Counterpoint: Meeting about a skating floor at 2:30.

Point: Thinking I'm starving for breakfast.
Counterpoint: Reading Poppy's blog, that I have a reason to carboload for the next 2 days.

Point: Bummed that it looks like rain for kids' Field Day at school (outside games are WAY better than being stuck in the gym).
Counterpoint: THRILLED that the weather looks good for the Walk and Roll.

Point: Wearing my pseudo hippy girl skirts and jewelry.
Counterpoint: Knowing there are sparkly shorts in my drawer.

Point: Being excited about hiking on vacation at a National Park with the kids and Ken Doll.
Counterpoint: Being excited about going to Rollercon (THE Roller Derby convention).

It's the potential contradiction that makes it all interesting. I love all of it.
