> I had a therapist friend who used to say, "the thing about new experiences is, you haven't had them yet."
I really like that! And it's a mark of my trust in him that I am not terrified of this new experience.
I think it helps that I know he cares about me. I may not be who he would have chosen as a friend either. And I know I irritate him on occasion. But if only because of sheer persistence and length of time, he does care about me.
And it also helps that I already suspected he was a Democrat. And that I wasn't overly fearful that people I like and care about be Democrats, since many people I like and care about *are* Democrats.
You know, we really aren't that scary. :)
