I enjoy writing 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. The Rougarou
Scooby Doo save me from the Rougarou.
Watch out for those southern Louisiana swamp monsters when you’re out swamp fishing at night.
2. A New Mantra
My freedom is more important than your anger.
This was inspied by:
“‘no’ might make them angry but it will make you free.
— if no one has ever told you,
your freedom is more important than their anger.” ~ Nayyirah Waheed
3. Pot Likker
My father taught me to love pot liquor. He grinned and proclaimed loudly how delicious it tasted.
“Pot liquor, sometimes spelled potlikker[1] or pot likker[2] is the liquid that is left behind after boiling greens (collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens) or beans. It is sometimes seasoned with salt and pepper, smoked pork or smoked turkey.” – Wikipedia
I recently cooked a batch of black beans. 😋 THE POT LIKKER WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!!

Every culture has its Critter- We have the Jackalope and, by extension, La Chupacabra. On the other note, I love a cup of pot likker- It is quicker!
