Ask Those Questions

Sometimes the people you're closest to are the ones you know the least about, so pose these questions. The answers may surprise you.

Write a question on a small piece of paper and fold in half. Then pile the pieces of paper in a bowl in the center of the table. Let each person choose one to read and answer.

What Time of Day Are You?




You Are Sunrise



You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary.

You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward.

Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts.

All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be.
