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

Thanks for the chance to win – since tomorrow (3/7) is my birthday – that would be an awesome surprise!
Darling! I would love to win it. It would be perfect when taking food somewhere.
You teach your children all about life and they teach you what life is all about.
I love Southern Plate! When I’m in need a good, old fashioned recipe it’s my go-to site. The only problem I have is when I read the stories and recipes I read them in my head with a SOUTHERN ACCENT! I can’t help it!! It makes me laugh every time.

You have 3 choices in life. You can watch things happen, make things happen or wonder what the hell happened. I just pop anything into my old crock pot and smilr. I know it is going to be great..LIVE FOR TODAY AND ENJOY!
Being a 86 year old bachelor who lost his wife over 2 years ago,who was an excellent cook,I am sure a crock pot would solve a lot of my cooking problems.
