Nicola, maybe we really *are* biologically related, after all! It's so amazing how similar we are after all these years. Anyway, it sounds like you've already found a perfect example of how a love list might nudge you to make some changes in your life. If having the time to run errands by foot or bike is so enjoyable for you, I think you're just going to have to figure out how to make some time for it each week. :)

Mark, I'm curious, why are you anti-list? It's not like a to-do list breathing down your neck—it's a pondering, rambling list. It's fine, of course, if you observe from afar, but I do hope you'll start jotting ideas down somewhere as they occur to you (because I'm pretty sure they will). :)

Jules, it's definitely about "taking control of life," and I'm so glad you're in it with me. It's a lot like exercising or praying or eating healthy—these things take some discipline and are much easier when we have someone alongside us. 

Btw, Jules already wrote a great post about this project: http://mojojules.wordpress.com/2009/09/19/why-join-the-love-list/

Paula, I love how this seems to be just what you need at this moment in your life. I like your point about how something in someone else's list might spark something in our own mind/heart—another benefit of not doing this alone. I also think there's great benefit, once we're more grounded in what we love, to being aware of the things in our life that make us feel just the opposite. Thanks for jumping in!
