“Just don’t talk politics”

“Just don’t talk politics” — I heard this over the weekend and it hit home how much of a truth it is for me.

It’s funny to me how many hobbies I have where I meet so many wonderful people I would not have meet elsewhere. So many people I have become great friends with, that I would not have meet anywhere else outside of the hobbies since our social circles just don’t intersect because of difference politics, lifestyle choices or spiritual beliefs.

So, if you are reading this, from your friendly nearly vegan, gun toting, belly dancing, yoga teaching, agnostic, sci-fiction & costuming loving, moderate left-leaning liberal, crazy cat/ferret/snake lady, thank you for your friendship. I think my life is so much richer for having such a variety of personalities and people around me!

What I find very, very interesting is that more frequently than not, I find I get along with people of opposing belief systems (politics especially) better than those that self identify the same way I do.  It’s weird! But so is life and that is why I find it all so interesting : )
