Try these relationship rituals and enjoy high-quality time with your loved ones:
1. Be a better daughter. Have real conversations with Mom and Dad. Even if you�re not totally interested with what they�re doing or how their day went, pretend. Just sit there and let them unload on you. Hey, how many times have they sat there and listened to all your troubles? Return the favor! Pretty soon, you�ll learn to cherish your little talks and you wont have to pretend anymore.
2. Be a better friend. Write love letters. Who say�s they�re just for boy-girl relationships? A love letter from your best friend may be even sweeter. Write each other once a month just to share the thoughts you never find time to say or new discoveries you stumble upon as you both make the journey of growing up.
3. Be a better sister. Do something you used to do when you were kids. Did you ride your bikes every afternoon? Set up an inflatable pool in the garden every summer? Eat popcorn for dinner? It will remind you how luck you are to have shared all those fun, silly times and how lucky you are to have siblings.
4. Be a better girlfriend. Remember when Felicity and Noel had to draw each other�s face? Try that or create your own version. Your goal is to answer this question: What really makes this person beautiful? Though you are looking at the face, your answers will surely go beyond it.
