My Love List

I have a rule in our house that if it’s not in the diary it doesn’t exist. Alongside that rule is the sub-rule that whoever gets in the diary first wins that spot. It’s a great incentive to be organised. 

For our first weekend alcohol free my husband has sent me a meeting request for a four hour walk.

We will be walking, I suspect, from one end of the Adelaide Hills to another. 

I love walking. It’s one of my favourite things to do. 

If we’re not spending time sitting around drinking does this mean I’ll have more time on my hands? I’m always wishing there were more hours in a day. 

I decide that if I’m going to have more time I should make a list of the things I most enjoy which I’m calling my love list. This will show me what I’m going to be doing when I have all this time. 

I got this idea from this blog about being more with less.

Walking in the country

Reading page turner books

Gardening (but not weeding)

Camping (especially by the beach)

Creative writing

Watching Netflix

Podcasts (usually while walking)

Running (on flat surfaces)

Bikram Yoga

Re-organising my wardrobe and creating new outfits (easier when your clothes fit you)

Networking (meeting new people)

Sleeping in

I’m not sure how this list it makes me look to someone who doesn’t know me. Does it make me look boring and suburban? 

I shouldn’t be too concerned about other people’s perceptions of me.

It’s all about being authentic these days!

As Keala Settle sang in the Greatest Showman, I’m not scared to be seen, I make no apologies, this is me (of course this image below isn’t actually me. Just to be clear).

  1. I love this list, and the idea of making a list of all the things you would like to have more time for. Because yes, sitting and drinking does take up a lot of time!

  2. I’ve never made a list like this before and it really did focus my mind on what I love to do!
