It’s no secret that tulips are one of my favorite flowers, and earlier this week when I had a chance to literally go tiptoeing through the tulips, I grabbed my camera and off I went.
I actually thought they would be past their peak, but surprisingly there were some colors that were just starting to bloom. As you can see, it’s a sea of color and I walked along the field passing each color and taking a moment to pause and take in the beauty that each color had to offer.
The smell was almost intoxicating, and once I walked through all the colors, I decided rather than walking back that jogging may be more fun, plus get the heart pumping a little harder than usual.
I’m sure Marcel and his mom wondered what I was running from. Maybe they even thought that one of the tulip farmers was hot on my tail, but nothing could have been further from the truth. I simply wanted to run alongside the beautiful colors and make my way back to them. Once I made it back, I asked Marcel to take a few pictures of me lying in the tulips. Even though he gave me an odd look when I asked, he obliged me, and my favorite is now my Facebook profile photo.
This is one of many ‘little’ things that bring joy to my life. I think it’s important to tap into those things that bring us joy and spend time with them.
What brings you joy?
