Gratituesday 4.21.26 -Adventures through the Tulips!
It’s amazing when you say you’re going to do something, and it actually happens! Last September, I was talking with my friend Jenny about planning our annual trip. What started out as suggestions on ChatGPT, came to fruition over the next few months. Originally we wanted to see the tulips and get some wooden shoes. We let the second one go, but we doubled down on the tulips with a trip to Keukenhof and taking a biking tour of the neighboring town of Lisse. Two other friends joined, and it wound up being a glorious trip. So many times over the course of the week, we said, “Oh my gosh, we did it. We’re finally here.” I know it’s not very surprising, as I organize things all the time. But it’s such a simple pleasure to plan something, and see it come to fruition. There’s so much to be thankful for - so I thought it time to put together my regular lists. Care to join me? The comment section is always open to add your own gratitudes, celebrations and desires! Let’s go!
