*I stole this idea from http://www.someonebeingme.blogspot.com/ who stole it from someone else and who knows maybe they stole it from someone. Please feel free to write your own love list. The rules are that you can't include a single person you know on your list. No "I love the way my husband laughs" or "I love hearing my little girl call for me." But this particular little exercise is about stripping away everyone who defines you and figuring out what you (not his partner; not their mother/daughter/sister/friend) love.
