Word around town that the New year doesn’t start till February so that gives us time to start some new traditions.

Love in a Can is something I came up with when my mom came to stay with me. She had an old cookie tin can that she would store her sewing supplies in that I took and used as a table center piece.

Every week I would write a quote on a piece of paper and hanged it on my fridge. Its warming to read something positive everyday or even something loving. At the end of the week I would place the note in the tin can on the table. As the weeks went by if ever we were in need of something uplifted we would go to the tin can and pull a note. I made sure to date them as well to remember.

You can do this too with a jar and put your own thought and feelings onto paper. You have the choice to make it loving or inspiring. Imagine doing this all year long for every day or week and going through it all at the end of the year. It can be a invention of love or healing process for those in need.
