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


Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow, for children grow up we’ve learned to our sorrow. So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep, I’m rocking my baby, and babies don’t keep. Unknown
Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

I love this one! “Good work ain’t cheap and cheap work ain’t good!”. Ain’t that the truth! 🙂
My cooking buddy showed up a little later than usual on Easter and dinner was fully underway. She looked at me and said “well I got here just in time, now I can put some LOVE in that food and everyone will want to eat it!” ~Abby Grace
Abby always says “gotta put some love in that cooking so people will want to eat it!”
