I enjoy creating The Happy Things Project blogs. Each week I try to post 3 things that create happiness in my eternal Now. There will be apparent repetition but Now brings new and unique happinesses even to what seems old.
1. Riding the RTA
I purchased a $3 Jazzy Pass and rode the buses and streetcars all around New Orleans. I saw places and things I would have never seen otherwise. It was great fun.
Jazzy Passes
1-day, 3-day and 31-day Jazzy Passes are available in a magnetic card format, as well as on the RTA’s GoMobile app. Jazzy Passes are valid for an unlimited number of trips for the time purchased. They are valid on the RTA buses & streetcars only and are non-transferable. They are activated with the first use. Please note that RTA also offers a 5-day Jazzy Pass which is only available via the GoMobile app or at an RTA Ticket Vending Machine (TVM). From the NORTA website.
2. Role – a poem by J.E. Glaze
I swallowed the universe.
I spit it out upon dry land.
It crawled up the shore,
arose and walked away,
forever changed.

3. Swamps and bayous
I went on a Pearl River Eco-tour of Honey Island Swamp.
I had a great time and the tour guide was informative and obviously knew what he was talking about. The tour was much more than just seeing alligators. We did see some and also some wild hogs. Those were the biggies.
There are a couple of wild hogs in there.
Up close with the swamp plants
It was a narrow passage they were brushing both sides of the boat.

I like it when gators say “Hi” and I’m up above.

I agree. It wasn’t nearly as fun when I was on the ground 20′ away from one swimming by my fishing spot.

Love Glaze poetry — the idea of swallowing the universe and spitting it out to crawl away is unique, but so true in somany ways! Find the boars a nice puzzle!

I like his work too.
The boars blended in really well.

I love your enjoying your joy! And sharing, too! (-;
I am so going to get a jazzy pass, if i get anywhere near that gorgeous city.
Jun 12, 2017 @ 18:35:35
It is a great way get around. No parking problem either.

and I thought it was all just gnarly tree roots.
Jazzy pass sounds great. Someday I gotta make my way to N’Orleans.

I was surprised too. It was a mixed bag of swamp and bayou.
You need to get yourself to NOLA. 😃

I’m not sure I fancy getting up close with alligators but the swamp looks a fascinating place.
Jun 27, 2017 @ 07:35:49
I find it fascinating. Like most wild life, alligators are basically afraid of people.
Jun 27, 2017 @ 09:15:07
I’m sure it’s good to get to know and understand them better.

Just like anything I suppose.
