Fat Tuesday, traditionally, is about excess. We overdo the eating and drinking before a time of abstinence. While we do not necessarily adhere to the abstinence part, we can relate to the idea of having a little extra to protect against a time of shortage.
Set up a small jar or container in which to dump pocket change in a place in your home under the watchful eyes of the gods. Allow the gods to smile down upon your efforts to ensure you have enough when the lean times come. Empty your pocket change into the jar daily or weekly and just let it accumulate. If the jar overflows, put the money in the bank. If you find yourself short on cash, take what you need. The gods reward those who work on helping themselves. I have always found enough spare change for what I need in my money jar. |
