Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

A new friend of mine just said “May is crazier than Christmas”. I’m feeling that too: Graduations, weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, Mother’s Day, birthdays, oy.
If you have trouble making conversation at family events, here’s some conversation starters. Consider putting them in a handy place on your mobile device to consult with when you get stuck. These are meant to be light questions, but can get heavy in a hurry, so if you’re not in the mood to get to deep, choose wisely.
Who would you invite to your ultimate dinner party, living or not?
What do you do for fun?
What was the happiest moment of your life?
What are some of the best lessons you’re ever learned?
What kind of a student were you?
Who was your favorite teacher?
Favorite topics?
Who has been the kindest to you?
What is your earliest memory?
Do you believe in love at first sight?
What are you proudest of?
Who are your best friends?
Who are your favorite relatives?
Have you ever experienced a miracles?
How would you like to be remembered?
If you weren't doing what you're doing now for a living, what else might you be doing?
When you meet God, what do you want to say to Him/Her?
The above questions are inspired by StoryCorps’ Great Questions.
The following are all mine. Two of my go-to “cocktail party” questions are these: 1) Have you ever been arrest? 2) Imagine that you’ve just spent the night with someone special, exchanged all kinds of bodily fluids, would you use their toothbrush in the morning?
Got any of your own questions you like asking? I'd love to hear them.
