Brilliant Questions

WOW! The Getting to Know You post from Wednesday was so much fun! It was fascinating to see the diversity of this community as well as all the beautiful commonalities. If you didn't get in on the action, it's never too late. Jump on in and tell us who you are! And, if you haven't already done so, I encourage you to read through the comment thread so you can get a better feel for some of the people who are part of the Being Joy community.

The questions you all came up with for this activity were absolutely brilliant. So, I'm going to list the questions for you here. I can think of lots of ways you might utilize these excellent questions. Try asking them to someone you know really well, like your spouse, partner, or best friend. Or try asking a few of them to someone you've just met. Or just ask them to yourself, as a way to get to know YOURSELF better. They could also be really great for an ice-breaker game at your workplace, in a church group, etc.

Brilliant Getting-to-Know-You Questions:

1. Do you prefer your toilet paper positioned so the roll feeds over or under?

2. If you could pick one famous person to go out on a date with, who would it be?

11. What do you do to PLAY? Something that you do for no other reason than the pure pleasure of doing it?
