You may be in a social mood today and eager to gather your friends and family around you. While an outing or dinner with one of your loved ones can satisfy your craving for companionship, a group get-together that includes all the individuals you care about can awaken your gregariousness and stimulate your extroverted self. Making the most of your outgoing disposition can be as simple as sitting down to a discussion of feelings, current events, the arts, or intellectual topics with your loved ones. You may discover that the more you share with the people you care for during your discussions, the closer you become. Today may be the day your acquaintances become friends and your friends become a part of your family.

The intimate conversations you have with your loved ones allow you to bond over experiences you had individually and share the highlights of one another's daily lives. Most of our discussions take place on a superficial level and contribute little to our understanding of the individuals we encounter each day. More intimate communication serves a purpose in relationships, uniting two or more people who are prevented by circumstance from literally sharing their lives. As you put your thoughts and feelings into words and talk with the people you care about, they come to know you on a deeper level. And, in listening to them, you do the same. As you expose your inner self in conversation today, the bond you share with your loved ones will grow ever stronger.
