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
I crossstiched a little flower pot for my Granny when I was young that simply said
“Bloom where you are planted”.
It hung proudly in her home until she passed away several years ago. Now it hangs in my home. It continually reminds me to be a Light wherever I am and to whomever I am around.
To the world, you are one person, to one person, you are the world.
You can’t be hung for thinking – it’s when you spit it out of your mouth that you’re in trouble!!

As I am ruler over a house of wit and sarcasm (equally at times)the saying around here goes like this:

My Rheumatologist told me…….
Your attitude can make your life bitter, or better

my friend Gail has this cross-stitched and framed in her kitchen.
Once the two of us got the giggles at a memorial service for a good friend who passed away suddenly.We were shaking the pew,we were giggling that hard. We were trying so hard to stop, but just couldn’t stop. It was awful!! Other friends were leaning forward and peering down the pew to see what was going on. Of course that made it worse. One friend passed us a handwritten note that said “You two behave !!” By that time we were wheezing and crying into kleenex. But,you know…… our friend would have LOVED knowing that at her memorial service, we laughed !!
