Give A Penny, Get A Penny
Give A Penny, Get A Penny
Most gas stations in the South have little change dishes by the register. If you’re paying for a transaction and need an extra penny or two, you simply take one from the dish. People then reciprocate this good turn by dropping a few coins in the dish from time to time, thereby creating a community bank of sorts, based on goodwill.
So in that spirit, this is Southern Plate’s “Give A Penny, Get A Penny” page.” I dearly love positive quotes and am always scouring the web for more so I thought this would be a great place to compile all of those. I’ll post mine, you post yours, and we can all “Give A Penny” when we have one and come back to “Get A Penny” when we need one.
I’ll also draw from these quotes to include at the bottom of my posts and emails that I send out to Southern Plate readers and be sure to credit the person who provided it, so include a link to your blog if you have one.
I would consider it a personal favor if you’d take the time to share a quote of motivation or positivity in the comments section below. Quote yourself, your Mama, someone famous, or our best friend “Anonymous”, it doesn’t matter, long as you drop your penny and then come back on one of those days when you feel like you might need one yourself.
Gratefully,
Christy
Worry is a down payment on a problem that probably won’t happen. Saw this on a sign – don’t know the author. I find this is true, most of the time the things we worry about never happen. Cathy

~A Good friend is like a good bra supportive, never leaves you hanging and always close to your heart~ A friend of mine gave me this love it!
Found this in the Feb. issue of Guideposts and it caught my eye because I have enjoyed feeding French fries to birds and squirrels on occasion…”Today I will be happier than a bird with a French frye” It was originally found on a sign in a frame shop in Boston.
I think this one is so cute!!
